Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98632

Summary:

The 98632 zip code area of Longview, Washington is home to 19 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 6 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Longview School District. While the district is ranked 164 out of 247 in Washington and has a 2-star rating, the schools in this area show significant variation in performance, demographics, and other key metrics.

Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Mt. Solo Middle School also excels, with the second-highest test scores. In contrast, schools like Kessler Elementary and Saint Helens Elementary struggle, with much lower proficiency rates, likely due to their higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The data also reveals significant challenges for the district's alternative and virtual schools, such as Kelso Virtual Academy and Longview Virtual Academy, which have lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to the traditional high schools. Overall, the schools in the 98632 zip code area demonstrate the need for the Longview School District to take a more tailored approach to supporting individual schools based on their unique needs and challenges.
