Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98295


Summary:

The 98295 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Sumas Elementary, which serves students from the Nooksack Valley School District. While Sumas Elementary has some areas of academic strength, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade math, the school's overall performance on standardized tests lags behind the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.

Sumas Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 67.49% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, despite its higher-than-average spending per student of $21,566. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 is slightly lower than the state average, but it's unclear if this additional resource is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes.

Sumas Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 655 out of 1,169 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 854 out of 1,169 in 2022-2023. This inconsistency in performance suggests that the school may benefit from targeted interventions and strategies to support its low-income and underperforming students, ultimately helping to improve overall academic achievement and student success.
