Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98531

Summary:

The 98531 zip code area is home to 8 schools in the Centralia School District, which includes 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a ranking of 208 out of 247 in Washington and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.

Washington Elementary School and Edison Elementary School are the top performers in the district, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. These schools also have relatively low free/reduced lunch rates and student-teacher ratios, suggesting a positive learning environment. In contrast, schools like Jefferson Lincoln Elementary and Oakview Elementary struggle to meet benchmark performance levels, likely due to their high rates of students from low-income families.

The high schools in the district, Centralia High School and Futurus High School, also show varying levels of success, with Centralia High School having a higher graduation rate but Futurus High School outperforming in Science proficiency. Overall, the data suggests that addressing socioeconomic disparities and implementing effective, evidence-based practices could be key to improving the overall performance of the Centralia School District.
