Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98422

Summary:

The 98422 zip code area in Washington is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools within this geographic area, highlighting the importance of school-level factors beyond just district-level policies and resources.

Browns Point Elementary School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 11% of Washington elementary schools with exceptional test scores, low free/reduced lunch rates, and small class sizes. Crescent Heights Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 30% of Washington elementary schools with strong test scores and moderate free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, N.E. Tacoma Elementary School lags behind, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages.

The data suggests a correlation between student demographics, socioeconomic status, and academic performance, with the schools serving more affluent and less diverse student populations tending to have stronger test scores. However, the high spending per student and small class sizes across all schools indicate that these factors alone may not be the primary drivers of academic achievement. Other factors, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, likely play a crucial role in shaping the educational outcomes within the Tacoma School District.
