Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98208

Summary:

Zip code 98208 in the Everett, WA area is served by 11 public schools, including 9 elementary and 2 middle schools, educating over 7,300 students across three different school districts: the Everett School District, Mukilteo School District, and Snohomish School District.

The area features standout schools like Gateway Middle School, ranked in the top 3% of middle schools statewide, and Forest View Elementary School, a top-ranked elementary school. Other consistently high performers include Silver Firs Elementary and Seattle Hill Elementary. In contrast, Discovery Elementary and Emerson Elementary School face significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates notably lower than their peers.

There is a wide range in school performance within this single zip code, with schools in the Everett School District generally outperforming the sole school from the Mukilteo School District. Interestingly, higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios, such as those at Discovery Elementary, do not automatically translate to better outcomes, as evidenced by the success of Gateway Middle School which operates with a higher ratio and lower spending.
