Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 98327

ZIP code 98327 has just one elementary school, Chloe Clark Elementary, a PK–3 school at 1700 Palisade Boulevard in DuPont that is part of the Steilacoom Hist. School District and enrolls 475 students. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no local peer schools to compare it with; the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state.

Chloe Clark is above the state on every reported 2025-26 test score. In English language arts it posts 64.29% proficiency, which is 11.48 points above the state for All Grades and 15.45 points above the state for 3rd grade. In math it posts 66.07%, which is 22.96 points above the state for All Grades and 12.87 points above the state for 3rd grade. One important caution: since the school serves only PK–3, its “All Grades” results are effectively 3rd-grade results. That makes the district comparison look different depending on the grade level used. District 3rd-grade math is 66.20%, essentially even with the school’s 66.07%, while district All Grades math is only 48.17%. So the fair same-grade math comparison is near parity with the district, even though the school remains far ahead of the state. In ELA at 3rd grade, the school is +2.89 points over the district. The school also improved year over year: ELA rose from 59.48% to 64.29% (+4.81 points) and math from 62.07% to 66.07% (+4.00 points), faster than both the district and the state.

For background, the school reports 26.95% free/reduced lunch, $18,870 per-student spending, and a 15.8 student-teacher ratio, though the data offers no district or state comparison for these. Its historical rankings were strong — 4 stars with percentile ranks of 89, 80, and 75 — but the most recent is from 2007-08, so current test results are far more relevant.
