Schools in Zip Code 98250

ZIP code 98250, serving the San Juan Island area, has five public schools covering grades K–12 within the San Juan Island School District, a district ranked in the 86th percentile statewide. The traditional pathway includes Friday Harbor Elementary School, Friday Harbor Middle School, and Friday Harbor High School, while Griffin Bay School and Griffin Bay School Open Doors provide smaller alternative programs.

Among the schools, Friday Harbor High School is the clearest standout. It ranks in the 85th percentile statewide, reports a 93% graduation rate, and outperforms Washington in English language arts and math. Its 75.38% ELA proficiency rate is especially strong, while science is close to the state average. Friday Harbor Middle School also compares favorably with the state in ELA and math and has improved steadily in statewide rankings. Seventh grade is a particular strength. Friday Harbor Elementary School ranks above the statewide midpoint and performs relatively well in math, although fifth-grade math and ELA results are areas parents may want to monitor.

The most consistent concern across the three traditional schools is science: proficiency declined notably from the prior year at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Results at Griffin Bay School and Griffin Bay School Open Doors should be interpreted cautiously because enrollment is very small and many assessment results are suppressed. Suppressed data means the results are unavailable for reliable reporting, not that students performed poorly. Overall, families seeking a conventional K–12 pathway will find a relatively strong local system, with the high school showing the strongest current outcomes and the middle school demonstrating encouraging improvement.
