Summary:
Zip code 98232 in Bow, Washington, is served by two public elementary schools, Edison Elementary and Allen Elementary, both part of the Burlington-Edison School District and educating students from kindergarten through 8th grade.
There is a significant performance gap between the two schools. Edison Elementary is a high-performing school, consistently ranking well above both the district and state averages in English, math, and science. In contrast, Allen Elementary struggles academically, with proficiency rates far below district and state averages across all subjects, particularly in science.
Notably, Allen Elementary receives slightly more funding per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Edison Elementary, indicating that resources alone do not explain the performance difference. Both schools show varying results by grade level, with math scores generally declining in the upper grades. This analysis highlights two very different educational experiences within the same small community and district.
