Summary

Edward Zeiger Elementary is a public Pre-K through 6th grade school serving about 500 students in the Puyallup School District, currently ranked in the middle range of schools statewide with a 2-star rating for the 2024-2025 year.

The school's academic performance in core subjects like English, Math, and Science is generally below both district and state averages, though it shows notable strengths in 6th grade English and 3rd grade Math. Compared to nearby schools, Edward Zeiger performs significantly better than its closest neighbor, Firgrove Elementary, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the district like Frank Brouillet and Ridgecrest Elementary. A key differentiator is that Edward Zeiger has the highest per-student spending among these comparison schools and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting more resources and potential for individual attention.

Edward Zeiger serves a student population with a higher level of economic need than many area schools, and the school's data shows it is particularly effective in supporting these students. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past two years after a dip, indicating a positive recent trend. For parents, this suggests a school that is well-resourced and showing signs of progress, with a focus on supporting students from all economic backgrounds, while working to raise overall academic achievement to match other top schools in the Puyallup School District.
