Summary:

Zip code 98445 contains one public high school, Franklin Pierce High School, serving grades 9-12 in the Franklin Pierce School District.

Franklin Pierce High School presents a mixed picture for families. A key strength is its 85.7% graduation rate, which is above the Washington state average, indicating the school is effective at supporting students through to completion. However, academic proficiency scores, especially in math where only 17.96% of students meet state standards, are significantly below average and have contributed to a decline in the school's statewide ranking over the past few years.

While the school's spending per student is substantial, the primary takeaway is a notable gap between its success in graduating students and their performance on standardized tests. Parents may want to investigate the specific academic supports and curriculum, particularly in mathematics, to understand how the school is working to improve core subject proficiency while maintaining its strong graduation track record.
