Summary:
ZIP code 98377 has two public schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade: White Pass Elementary School serves grades K–6, and White Pass Junior Senior High School serves grades 7–12. Both are part of the small, rural White Pass School District, with about 352 students overall. The schools have relatively small enrollments and high levels of economic need, factors parents may want to consider when reviewing year-to-year results.
White Pass Elementary School shows its strongest results in science and fifth grade. Overall science proficiency was 51.85%, slightly above the state rate and more than 10 points above the district result. Fifth graders also exceeded state comparison rates in both English language arts and math. However, overall ELA proficiency was 35.24%, and third grade was especially challenging, with 14.29% proficiency in both ELA and math. Sixth-grade ELA was also weak. Parents may wish to ask about early-grade reading and math support, while noting that elementary science improved substantially from the prior year.
White Pass Junior Senior High School has stronger ELA and graduation indicators than the elementary school has in comparable areas. ELA proficiency reached 47.95% after improving more than 10 points, and the graduation rate was 84%, above the state rate. Eighth-grade ELA slightly exceeded the state comparison rate. The main concern is math: overall proficiency was 19.72%, including just 11.11% in seventh grade. Science was also below district and state results, particularly in eleventh grade. Overall, families may see encouraging literacy and graduation outcomes, but should ask about secondary math, science, intervention programs, and how the school is sustaining recent ELA gains.
