However, the schools in the 98823 zip code area generally perform below the state averages in ELA, Math, and Science proficiency, with the elementary and middle schools showing the most room for improvement. The high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.2% to 88.46%, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the area. The Ephrata School District may benefit from addressing these equity concerns and leveraging the strengths of the higher-performing schools to elevate the overall quality of education in the region.
