Summary:
The 98857 zip code area is home to three schools - Warden Elementary, Warden High School, and Warden Middle School - all part of the Warden School District. Unfortunately, these schools do not appear to be standout performers, with all three ranking below average in academic metrics compared to state standards.
The student population at these schools is predominantly Hispanic, with over 75% of students identifying as such. Academic performance, as measured by test scores, is significantly below the state averages, with all three schools ranking in the bottom 50% of their respective school types in Washington. Despite the low academic outcomes, the schools appear to be spending more per student than the state average, which may suggest a need for further investigation into the effective use of resources.
The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, over 80% at all three schools, indicate that the schools serve a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the overall academic outcomes suggest that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the poor performance. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students in this community.
