Summary:
Zip code 98024 in Fall City, Washington, is served by two high-performing public schools—Fall City Elementary (grades K-5) and Chief Kanim Middle School (grades 6-8)—within the top-ranked Snoqualmie Valley School District.
Both schools are consistently rated excellent, dramatically outperforming state averages in all subjects. Fall City Elementary stands out for its exceptional proficiency rates, particularly in science (85%) and math (81%), ranking in the 96th percentile statewide. Chief Kanim Middle School also performs very strongly, ranking in the 91st percentile with notable strength in 7th grade English.

The schools share similar student demographics but differ in resources; the elementary school has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. Overall, families in this area benefit from access to two outstanding schools in an elite district, though the data suggests the district may focus on supporting a smoother academic transition to middle school, particularly in math and science.
