Summary:
ZIP code 98375 includes six listed schools serving elementary, middle, and high-school students: four elementary schools, one middle school, and one specialized high school, with 3,864 students across the Puyallup School District and Bethel School District. The area offers a mixed academic picture, ranging from a consistently strong elementary school to schools with more significant improvement needs.
Frank Brouillet Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide and leading the listed schools in ELA, math, and science, with proficiency rates of 62.04%, 54.80%, and 60.76%. Emma L Carson Elementary is particularly strong in math, including 63.83% proficiency in third grade, while Doris Stahl Junior High has a relatively strong ELA profile and the highest within-level ranking in the ZIP code, but weaker math results. Dessie F Evans Elementary is a large, middle-performing school with comparatively encouraging sixth-grade results, although its latest scores declined across all three tested subjects.
Frederickson Elementary has the lowest reported proficiency in the area, with results below district and state averages in ELA, math, and science; math is the main concern across several schools. Its science performance improved, but continued academic support appears important. Pierce County Skills Center serves grades 8–12 through a specialized program and has no test-score data in this listing, so it should not be judged by the absence of reported results. Overall, parents will find the strongest measured performance at Frank Brouillet, subject-specific strengths at Carson and Doris Stahl, and the greatest need for improvement at Frederickson.
