Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98237


Summary:

The 98237 zip code area is home to two schools - Concrete Elementary and Concrete High School, both part of the Concrete School District. While the schools serve a diverse student population, with a mix of White, Hispanic, and Native American students, the data indicates that both schools are performing significantly below state averages on key metrics like standardized test scores and graduation rates.

Concrete Elementary is ranked 905 out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on state assessments range from 24% to 36% in English Language Arts and 11% to 38% in Math, well below the state averages. However, the school does perform better on the 5th grade science test, with a 58.62% proficiency rate. Concrete High School fares even worse, ranking 376 out of 437 Washington high schools and also earning a 1-star rating. Its proficiency rates on state tests are extremely low, ranging from 13% to 50% in ELA and 15% to 17% in Math. The high school also struggles with a concerning 21% dropout rate and a 68.4% four-year graduation rate.

Despite the poor academic performance, both schools have relatively high spending per student, at $21,340 for the elementary school and $23,918 for the high school. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the subpar outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 98237 zip code area face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students, and further investigation may be necessary to identify and address the root causes of these issues.
