Summary

Zillah Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 270 students in grades 3-5 in Zillah, Washington, and it stands out as a strong performer in its region, particularly given the high level of economic need among its student population.

Academically, the school significantly outperforms its neighbors, with math proficiency at 59%—far higher than the state average and schools like Adams Elementary (19%) or Roosevelt Elementary (24%). Reading scores meet the state average and also exceed all nearby schools. This success is especially notable because the school achieves these results with lower per-student spending than many surrounding schools that perform worse. The Zillah School District as a whole is ranked significantly higher than neighboring districts like Wapato and Toppenish.

The school has shown impressive, steady improvement over the last decade and is particularly effective in supporting English language learners and students from low-income families, ranking in the 78th to 84th percentiles statewide for these groups. While there are some areas to watch, like a dip in fourth-grade scores and science proficiency, Zillah Intermediate's overall trajectory is positive, demonstrating that it is a consistently effective and efficient school within its community.
