Summary:

Zip code 98221 in Anacortes, Washington, is served by eight public schools—three elementary, one middle, and four high schools—within the highly-rated Anacortes School District.

The standout school is Anacortes High School, an elite 5-star school ranked 24th in the state with exceptional test scores and a 97.9% graduation rate. The three elementary schools—Island View Elementary, Fidalgo Elementary, and Mount Erie Elementary—are all strong 4-star schools with very similar, consistent academic performance. Anacortes Middle School is also well-rated but shows a common dip in test scores compared to the elementary and high school levels.

There is a significant performance gap at the high school level, as Cap Sante High School has much lower rankings, test scores, and a 65% graduation rate, suggesting it serves as an alternative program. The other high schools, Open Doors - Youth Reengagement Program and Open Doors, are part of a different service district. Overall, the district significantly outperforms state averages, largely driven by the success of Anacortes High School.
