Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 98272 include eight schools serving approximately 4,787 students across elementary, middle, high school, alternative, and specialized programs. All are part of the Monroe School District, which ranks 73rd of 238 Washington districts in the supplied data. The schools serve a wide range of grade levels and program types, so parents should compare schools primarily with others serving similar students rather than relying on one ZIP-code-wide average.

Salem Woods Elementary School is the strongest traditional elementary school, with 70.25% proficiency in English language arts and 69.26% in math. Fryelands Elementary shows a balanced profile, including stronger-than-district math and science results, and its ranking improved to the 65th percentile. In contrast, Frank Wagner Elementary has the lowest results among the conventional elementary schools, particularly in third-grade ELA and math, although its ranking improved from the previous year. At the secondary level, Monroe High School has the area’s strongest graduation profile: a 91.4% graduation rate and 6.7% dropout rate. Its ELA and science results are strong, while math remains an important improvement area. Park Place Middle School has improved in ranking but remains below district and state results in all three tested subjects.

Sky Valley Education Center is a large K–12 alternative school with mixed results: science is a relative strength, while overall math performance is weaker, especially in several middle grades. Its combined grade levels make direct comparisons with single-level schools difficult. Leaders In Learning is a very small high school program with concerning graduation and dropout figures, though small cohorts can make results unstable. Out Of District Special Educational serves only 18 students and has too little outcome data for meaningful academic comparison. Overall, the most important pattern is wide variation among schools, with math a recurring challenge and Salem Woods and Monroe High School standing out most positively.
