Summary:

Zip code 98374 in Puyallup, Washington, is served by one high school, Emerald Ridge High School, a grades 10-12 institution in the Puyallup School District with nearly 1,600 students.

Emerald Ridge High School demonstrates clear strengths, particularly in preparing students for graduation and in English Language Arts. The school's 89.1% graduation rate is above both district and state averages, and its 74.68% proficiency rate in English Language Arts significantly outperforms its peers, indicating very effective literacy instruction. The school has also maintained a stable, above-average state ranking over the past several years.

An area for potential focus is mathematics, where the school's proficiency rate is notably below the averages for the Puyallup School District and Washington state. This creates a significant performance gap compared to its exceptional English scores. Parents can be encouraged by the strong graduation outcomes and English performance but may want to inquire about the school's specific math curriculum and support programs to understand plans for improvement in that subject.
