Summary:
The 98596 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population and face varying challenges, with some standout performers and areas for improvement.
Evaline Elementary School emerges as the top performer, with exceptional test scores in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. This success may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, though it has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the other schools. In contrast, Winlock Senior High stands out for its high graduation rate of 89.5% and low dropout rate of 6.2%, indicating its effectiveness in supporting students through their high school journey.
The data also reveals socioeconomic challenges faced by the schools in the 98596 zip code area, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.94% to 76.24%. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities. Additionally, the differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios among the schools suggest potential disparities in resource allocation, which may contribute to the varying academic outcomes observed.
