Summary:
Zip code 98237 in Concrete, Washington, is served by two public schools within the Concrete School District: Concrete Elementary (grades K-6) and Concrete High School (grades 7-12), which together educate about 527 students in a community with significant economic need.
While both schools receive funding well above the state average, they have historically performed below state averages in most subjects, though Concrete High School has shown a remarkable recent turnaround, jumping from the 14th to the 52nd percentile in statewide rankings in just one year. In contrast, Concrete Elementary has maintained more consistent but lower rankings, with science being a relative strength for both schools.
Key considerations for families include the high school's impressive improvement trajectory and its 10th grade English scores now exceeding the state average, while the elementary school shows notable variation in performance between grade levels. The Concrete School District faces the challenge of translating substantial per-student resources into improved outcomes for a student population where a large majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
