Summary:
In zip code 98328, which serves the Eatonville, WA area, there are two public middle schools operated by the Eatonville School District: a traditional middle school and a very small online academy serving grades 6-10.
The primary school is Eatonville Middle School, a traditional school serving about 425 students in grades 6-8. Academically, its test scores generally fall below state averages, with a notable gap in science proficiency. Math scores also show a pattern of declining from 6th to 8th grade. The alternative is the Eatonville Online Academy, a much smaller online program with only 7 students. Key data like test scores are not available for the online academy, making direct academic comparison difficult, but it operates at a significantly lower cost per student.
An interesting finding is that while the Eatonville School District itself is ranked in the middle of all state districts, Eatonville Middle School's ranking is in the lower third of Washington middle schools, indicating it is underperforming relative to the district's overall standing. For parents, this area offers a choice between a larger, traditional school setting and a very small online alternative, each with very different operational models and available performance data.
