Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98860

Summary:

The 98860 zip code area is home to two small schools - Wilson Creek Elementary and Wilson Creek High, both part of the Wilson Creek School District. These schools serve a predominantly white student population and have relatively low enrollment, with 59 students at the elementary school and 56 at the high school.

While Wilson Creek Elementary performs reasonably well on tests, with 50% proficiency in ELA and 40% in Math, Wilson Creek High has mixed academic results, with some areas above the district average but below the state average. The high school also has a concerning 20% dropout rate, despite a 80% four-year graduation rate. Both schools have very low student-teacher ratios, with 11:1 at the elementary and 7:1 at the high school, which may contribute to the high per-student spending of $25,819 and $31,572, respectively.

Overall, these small, rural schools face challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and lack of diversity, but they also benefit from individualized attention and resources due to their small sizes. Addressing these areas of concern could help improve the educational outcomes for students in the 98860 zip code area.
