Summary:
The 98257 area has three public schools in the La Conner School District, serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade in a small-school setting with 485 students total.
La Conner Elementary is the strongest academic performer in science, with 63.33% of students proficient—well above both the district and Washington averages. Its fifth-grade students were especially successful, exceeding state results in English language arts, math, and science. The school also improved to the 45th percentile in the latest statewide ranking. La Conner High School has shown the most dramatic overall improvement, rising from the 11th to the 50th percentile in two years. It leads the district in English language arts, with 60% proficiency, and made large gains in math and science. Its 81% graduation rate is close to the state rate, although math and science remain areas where students could use additional support.
La Conner Middle has improved gradually in statewide rankings but currently has the weakest academic results among the three schools. Its science proficiency rate is 28.21%, nearly 23 percentage points below the state average, while math proficiency is 29.46%. These results suggest that middle school math, science, and the transition into sixth grade deserve focused attention. Across the district, English language arts and science improved at every school in the latest year, and all three schools rose in statewide rankings. Families may also want to consider the variation between grade levels: fifth grade is especially strong at the elementary school, while seventh grade performs best within the middle school. Overall, the district shows encouraging momentum but uneven achievement, with elementary science and high school English language arts standing out as strengths.
