Summary:
ZIP code 98304 has one listed school, Columbia Crest A-Stem Academy, a small K–8 school serving 209 students at its Ashford, Washington, address. Because it is the only school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare schools locally; the most useful comparisons are with the Eatonville School District and Washington state. The school has an 18.6 student-teacher ratio and reported 58.37% free/reduced-price lunch participation in 2024–25.
Overall, Columbia Crest A-Stem Academy performed below both the district and state in 2025–26. Proficiency was 39.81% in English language arts, 29.13% in math, and 33.33% in science. Math was the weakest subject overall, while science had the largest gap compared with the district and state. Results varied considerably by grade: third-grade ELA was a standout, with 61.11% proficient—above both comparison groups—and sixth-grade math was also slightly above district and state results. In contrast, fourth-grade ELA was only 15.79% proficient, and seventh-grade math was 18.18%, making these the most notable areas of concern.
The school’s recent results also show a need for attention. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA was essentially unchanged, math declined modestly, and science dropped sharply from 57.45% to 33.33%. Its statewide ranking fell from the 35th percentile in 2023–24 to the 26th percentile in 2025–26, with the rating declining from two stars to one. Several sixth- and eighth-grade results were suppressed, so those outcomes are unknown rather than zero. Parents may want to ask about plans for math, fourth-grade reading, and science, while also looking for ways the school is building on its stronger third-grade ELA and sixth-grade math performance.
