Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98251


Summary:

The 98251 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Gold Bar Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces academic performance challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, where proficiency rates lag behind district and state averages. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the district and state, indicating potential strengths in its science curriculum and instruction.

Economically, Gold Bar Elementary serves a significant population of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 61.24% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's academic performance issues and should be considered when developing strategies to support student success. The school's low statewide ranking and 1 or 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger further highlight the need for targeted interventions to improve overall academic outcomes.

Despite the challenges, Gold Bar Elementary's diverse student population presents both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of students from different backgrounds. The school's spending per student of $19,549 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1 suggest that resources are being allocated to support the school's operations. As the only school in the 98251 zip code, Gold Bar Elementary's performance and the Sultan School District's efforts to address its challenges will be crucial in ensuring the academic success of the local community.
