Summary:
The six schools in ZIP code 98331 serve students from kindergarten through grade 12 across a rural area, with five schools in the Quillayute Valley School District and Queets-Clearwater School District serving one small elementary school. Enrollment ranges from 37 students at Queets-Clearwater Elementary to 2,841 at Insight School of Washington, while the traditional Forks schools enroll roughly 237 to 368 students.
Forks High School has the strongest overall profile, with 59.38% of students proficient in English language arts, an 84.5% graduation rate, and a 9.8% dropout rate. Its ranking has also improved substantially, from the 5th percentile three years ago to the 30th percentile most recently. However, math and science remain important weaknesses. Forks Elementary School is the local math standout: 42.64% of students were proficient, nearly matching the Washington rate, and math improved by 6.61 percentage points in one year. Forks Middle School has improved its ranking but reports much weaker results, especially in math, where only 13.33% were proficient.
Insight School of Washington faces the greatest measured challenges, including 6.93% math proficiency, a 46.6% graduation rate, and a 27.7% dropout rate; its alternative-school model and large enrollment provide important context. The small District Run Home School showed modest year-over-year gains in ELA and math, but its results may fluctuate because it serves only 42 students. All academic results for Queets-Clearwater Elementary are suppressed, so its performance is unknown rather than low. Overall, math is the most consistent area for improvement, followed by science, while Forks High’s ELA and graduation results are notable strengths.
