Summary:
ZIP code 98331 contains one high school, Forks High School, serving grades 9–12 in Forks, WA, within the Quillayute Valley School District, a small rural area. The school enrolls 264 students, with 58.71% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and per-student spending of $22,833 for 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio is 12.7, implying roughly 21 teachers.
The school has shown overall improvement in rankings, moving from 0 stars and 5th percentile in 2023–2024 to 2 stars and 30th percentile in 2025–2026. This is notable because the district itself is ranked 213 out of 238 districts in Washington (11th percentile, 1 star), so the school appears to be a relative bright spot. Graduation and dropout outcomes are also relative strengths: the 2024–2025 graduation rate of 84.5% exceeds both the district (75.0%) and the state (82.6%), while the dropout rate of 9.8% matches the state and is lower than the district’s 13.7%.
Academically, ELA is the clearest bright spot: proficiency rose from 50.98% to 59.38% in 2025–2026, well above the district’s 38.39% but still 5.03 points below the state’s 10th-grade ELA result of 64.41%. Math improved from 21.57% to 26.87%, slightly above the district’s 24.54% but 8.55 points below the state’s 10th-grade math result. Science is the biggest concern, dropping from 36.36% to 17.07%—a 19.29 percentage point decline—and falling far below both the district (26.19%) and the state (50.95% all grades; 48.78% at 11th grade). With a small enrollment, this drop may partly reflect cohort volatility, but it remains a serious area for growth.
