Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98947

Summary:

The 98947 zip code area has only one school, Tieton Elementary School, which serves grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 238 students. While the school is located in the Highland School District, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Washington elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.

Tieton Elementary School's student population is predominantly Hispanic (78.15%), with a high percentage of students (89.08%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is below the state and district averages in most subject areas and grade levels. For example, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates range from 33.8% to 50%, while its math proficiency rates range from 24.66% to 41.94%, all of which are lower than the state and district averages.

Despite the school district's higher-than-average spending per student ($16,127) and a student-teacher ratio of 21.3, which is slightly higher than the state average, Tieton Elementary School's academic performance remains a concern. The data suggests that the school may benefit from additional support and targeted interventions to address the specific needs of its student population and improve overall student outcomes.
