Summary:

Zip code 66968 has two schools in Washington County Schools, serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Washington Elementary serves PK–6 and has 192 students, while Washington County High School serves grades 7–12 and has 163. In 2025–2026, elementary proficiency was 71% in ELA and 67% in math, compared with 32% and 24% at the high school—a gap of 38 points in ELA and 43 in math. The clearest finding is that the elementary school has substantially stronger reported ELA and math results.

Washington Elementary stands out in both subjects, scoring 25 points above the state in ELA and 26 points above in math; the high school was 14 points below state in ELA and 17 below in math. Science was also stronger at the elementary, though the school-to-school gap was smaller at 12 points. SchoolDigger rated the elementary at the 88th percentile with 4 stars, versus the high school at the 25th percentile with 1 star. The high school has a notable positive outcome beyond test scores: its 96% graduation rate was 7 points above the state rate. Chronic absenteeism was below the statewide 18% at both schools—4% at the elementary and 8% at the high school.

Recent results improved in ELA and math at the elementary: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, scores rose 12 points in ELA and 13 in math, while science fell 3 points. The high school’s ELA rose 6 points, but math fell 5 and science fell 2. Grade-level results add nuance: elementary ELA and math were above state results in every reported grade, while high-school eighth-grade ELA was close to state and eighth-grade science was 1 point above; grade 11 science was 7 points below. SchoolDigger’s elementary percentile rose from 63 to 88 over three years; the high school’s latest 25th percentile improved from 16 the prior year but remained below its earlier 41st percentile. Student-teacher ratios were similar at 10.3 and 10.2, and the high school’s free/reduced-lunch rate was 6 points higher. These schools serve different grade spans, so their overall proficiency figures are not a same-grade comparison.
