Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98325

ZIP code 98325 has four schools serving grades PK–12 within the Chimacum School District, with 704 students across a primary school, elementary school, junior/senior high school, and small alternative program. The schools cover the full K–12 range, although there is no separately listed middle school: Chimacum Elementary School serves grades 2–6, while Chimacum Junior/Senior High School serves grades 7–12.

Chimacum Junior/Senior High School is the strongest overall performer in the available data and has improved notably in recent years. Its ranking rose from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile in 2025–2026. In that latest year, 65.69% of students were proficient in English language arts and 58.33% in science, both above state results. Its 87% graduation rate also exceeded district and state rates. Math is the main area for improvement: proficiency rose to 36%, above the district but below the state. By comparison, Chimacum Elementary School reported lower 2025–2026 proficiency in ELA, math, and science than both the district or state in most measures, and results declined from the prior year, particularly in science.

Chimacum Creek Primary School serves PK–1 and has no assessment results listed, so academic comparisons are not available for that school. The PI Program is a much smaller alternative program serving K–12 students. Its lower proficiency and graduation results should be considered alongside its distinct mission, higher reported economic need, and 49-student enrollment; several results are suppressed for privacy and are unknown rather than zero. Across the area, math is the most consistent academic challenge, while the high school’s ELA and recent science gains are notable strengths. Parent comparisons should also consider school size, grade span, program type, and student-teacher ratios, which range from about 14.6 at the traditional elementary school to 30 at the PI Program.
