Our Lady of Guadalupe School is a Catholic Pre-K-8 parish school in West Seattle (3401 SW Myrtle), founded in 1962 and operated by the Archdiocese of Seattle. Enrollment runs around 195 with a 9:1 student-teacher ratio, anchored in the Our Lady of Guadalupe parish on Genesee Hill.
In the West Seattle / Burien Catholic K-8 landscape, OLG sits alongside Holy Rosary School (West Seattle), St. Bernadette (Burien), and Hope Lutheran (West Seattle, non-Catholic). Citywide it competes with the larger urban Catholic K-8s — St. Joseph (Capitol Hill), Villa Academy (Laurelhurst), St. John (Maple Leaf), Sacred Heart (Bellevue) — though those tend to draw from broader regional pools while OLG draws primarily from West Seattle parishioners. Tuition is tiered: a lower in-parish rate for contributing parishioners, a higher out-of-parish rate, with the top grade running roughly $11,650.
The academic program follows the Archdiocese of Seattle's standard parochial model — religion class, daily prayer, weekly Mass — alongside core academics, technology, music, PE, and a small interscholastic-sports program (basketball, volleyball, track). Class sizes are small by design, the trade for a single-section-per-grade school. Families weigh OLG against the secular West Seattle K-5 privates (Westside School, Tilden) at much higher tuition, and the larger but commuter-heavy K-8 Catholics elsewhere in the city.
