Summary:
ZIP code 98325 is served by a single high school: Chimacum Junior/Senior High School, part of the Chimacum School District. It enrolls 251 students in grades 7–12, so it operates as a combined junior and senior high school — meaning its reported test results include 7th and 8th graders alongside 10th and 11th graders, and some figures reflect middle-school performance rather than traditional high school classes. About 51% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $21,916 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.7.
Academically, English language arts is the school's standout strength: 65.69% of all students met the standard, well above the district's 44.79% and the state's 52.81%. Seventh-grade ELA was especially strong at 75%. Science is also above both benchmarks at 58.33%, with 8th grade at 60.61% and 11th grade at 55.56% — a reversal from the prior year, when science sat below district and state. Math is the weaker area: 36% proficient overall, ahead of the district's 27.56% but below the state's 43.11%. Tenth-grade math (36.67%) edges past the state, while 7th and 8th grade math trail it.
Results are trending upward. The school rose from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 66th in 2024–2025 and the 68th in 2025–2026, with its star rating climbing from 2 to 3. One-year proficiency gains outpaced the district: ELA up 9.39 points, math up 8.5 points, and science up 16.57 points. The graduation rate is 87.0%, above the district's 83.6% and the state's 82.6%. The most recent school-level dropout figure, 10.2% in 2023–2024, comes from a different year than the district and state numbers, so it is not directly comparable.
