Summary:
The 98938 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Outlook Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 449 students. While the school has a highly diverse student population, with 95.1% of students identifying as Hispanic, it faces significant academic challenges compared to district and state averages.
Outlook Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are well below the Sunnyside School District and Washington state averages, with only 22.41% and 23.24% of students meeting proficiency standards, respectively, in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's science proficiency rates are more competitive, with 35.8% of students meeting proficiency standards, compared to 28.98% for the district and 49.73% for the state.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1 and spends significantly more per student ($19,943) than the state average. However, Outlook Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools, likely due to the high percentage (85.52%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. With targeted interventions and support, the school may be able to raise its academic performance in ELA and Math and provide a better educational experience for its diverse student body.
