Summary:

Zip code 98251 is home to one elementary school, Gold Bar Elementary, serving grades K-5 with 313 students in the Sultan School District.

Gold Bar Elementary shows a positive trend, having improved its statewide ranking over the past three years. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8 to 1 and receives significant per-student funding. However, its overall academic performance generally lags behind both the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, though its math scores are closer to the district average. Performance varies notably by grade, with fourth graders facing the greatest challenges.

With over half of its students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the school's context is important. The gap between its substantial resources and its academic outcomes presents a key area for potential focus. For parents, this means the school is on an upward path of improvement but continues to work on elevating student achievement across all grade levels and subjects.
