Schools in Zip Code 98133

ZIP code 98133 includes seven public schools serving grades pre-K through 12: five elementary or K–8 schools and two high schools. The schools are divided between the Shoreline School District and Seattle School District No. 1. Together, they enroll about 5,233 students. School performance varies widely, with several highly rated schools alongside schools that have more significant academic challenges. The Shoreline schools generally rank higher overall, although results differ from school to school.

The strongest elementary option is Meridian Park Elementary School, ranked 32nd out of 1,138 statewide elementary schools, with about 80% proficiency across ELA, math, and science. Highland Terrace Elementary also has excellent ELA and math results, although its current science data is unavailable. Parkwood Elementary is a balanced, consistently above-average school. Echo Lake Elementary School has remained near the middle of statewide rankings, with generally moderate results. Among high schools, Shorewood High School is the clear leader, ranking in the top 10% statewide, with a 92.7% graduation rate and a 3.6% dropout rate. Ingraham High School also exceeds state graduation benchmarks and has strong ELA results, but trails Shorewood in math and science.

The main academic concern is Broadview-Thomson K-8 School, which ranks in the 34th percentile and has the lowest proficiency rates in the group, especially in middle-grade math and ELA. Ingraham’s science proficiency dropped sharply year over year, while Echo Lake also experienced a notable science decline. Across the area, ELA is usually stronger than math or science. Class size, spending, and student-teacher ratios do not closely match academic results, so parents should consider multiple measures, including grade-specific performance, graduation outcomes, school programs, and the most recent trends.
