Summary:
ZIP code 98362 includes four public schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade: three elementary schools and one high school, with 1,957 students in the Port Angeles School District. The area has a strong districtwide standing, ranked in the 76th percentile statewide. School performance varies, but all four schools show notable strengths, especially in science, while math and sixth-grade elementary English Language Arts (ELA) are the most consistent areas needing attention.
Port Angeles High School is the highest-ranked school in the ZIP code, placing in the 74th percentile. It has particularly strong ELA results, with 73.58% of students proficient, and its 85.5% graduation rate exceeds both district and state averages. Science performance is also above the state average. Math is the clearest weakness, with 34.42% proficiency compared with 44.96% districtwide. Among elementary schools, Franklin Elementary ranks highest and leads the group in science, where 76.19% of students are proficient. It also exceeds district and state results in ELA, math, and science, although sixth-grade performance is much weaker than fifth-grade results.
Roosevelt Elementary School has shown the largest ranking improvement, moving from 793rd to 433rd statewide over three years. Its math and science results are above district and state averages, while ELA remains its main concern, particularly in sixth grade. Jefferson Elementary ranks lowest among the elementary schools but has bright spots, including 68.97% proficiency in third-grade math and science slightly above the state average. Across the elementary schools, fifth grade is generally strong, while sixth-grade ELA is below district and state results at all three schools. Parents comparing options may want to focus on each school’s grade-specific results rather than rankings alone, since recent rankings improved across all four schools and schoolwide averages can hide substantial differences between grades.
