Best High Schools in Zip Code 98108

ZIP code 98108 has two high schools serving grades 9–12: Cleveland High School STEM and Raisbeck Aviation High School. Together, they enroll about 1,275 students and represent different district settings: Cleveland is part of Seattle School District No. 1, while Raisbeck is part of Highline School District. Raisbeck’s listed address is in Tukwila, but it is included in the supplied 98108 school list.

Raisbeck is the strongest overall academic performer, ranking 4th out of 396 Washington high schools in 2025–2026. It had 67.96% math proficiency and 82.8% science proficiency, far above state results, and its statewide ranking has remained near the top for three years. However, its math and science scores declined from the prior year, and its current English Language Arts result is suppressed, so no current ELA comparison can be made. Raisbeck’s exceptional results are especially notable because Highline ranks much lower statewide as a district; school-level performance should not be assumed to represent the district as a whole.

Cleveland is also a strong option, particularly for students and families focused on graduation and English Language Arts. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.7%, well above both its district and the state, while 78.28% of students were proficient in ELA in 2025–2026. Cleveland’s statewide ranking improved sharply from 125th to 72nd, and its ELA proficiency rose 8.65 percentage points. Raisbeck led Cleveland in reported math by 19.46 points and science by 33.86 points, while Cleveland led in the available current ELA results. Cleveland’s math was above the state average, but its science performance was approximately level with the state. The schools had similar student-teacher ratios, though Cleveland reported higher per-student spending and a larger share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
