Summary:
Zip code 98220 in Acme, WA, contains one public elementary school, Acme Elementary, serving grades K-6 within the Mount Baker School District, a district that ranks in the lower third statewide.
Acme Elementary shows a notable mix of strengths and challenges. Its third-grade students perform well, with math and reading scores exceeding district averages and, in math, the state average. However, performance declines in later grades, with sixth-grade math proficiency falling significantly below state expectations. Overall, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below Washington state averages, and it has consistently received lower state rankings in recent years.
The school operates with a higher-than-average per-student spending and a moderate class size. Over half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school outperforms its district in several subjects, the sharp drop in proficiency between early and upper grades is a key area for attention. For parents, this means the school demonstrates early-grade success but faces systemic challenges in maintaining that progress as students advance.
