Summary:

Zip code 98304 in Ashford, Washington, contains one public school, Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy, a K-8 school with a focus on arts, science, technology, engineering, and math within the Eatonville School District.

Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy shows a clear strength in science, where student proficiency notably exceeds both district and state averages, suggesting its specialized focus is effective. However, performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics is below average compared to the state, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years. There are significant variations in performance between different grade levels, with eighth graders performing particularly well in several subjects while sixth graders face more challenges.

The school operates with a per-student spending that is higher than many national averages, and a majority of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school excels in its science curriculum, the overall academic results present a mixed picture, with strong performance in its specialized area alongside broader challenges in core subjects within its district context.
