Summary:
The 98498 zip code area is home to 12 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Clover Park School District. While the district is ranked 178 out of 249 in Washington and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate pockets of success that could serve as models for improvement.
Lake Louise Elementary School stands out with the highest overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40.27%) and Math (42.27%), as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.4. Idlewild Elementary School also performs above average in ELA (40.47%) and Science (41.33%), and has a higher percentage of white students (46.3%) compared to other elementary schools in the area. The alternative Firwood school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.1 and spends significantly more per student ($62,772) than the other schools.
While the schools in the 98498 zip code generally perform below state averages in academic proficiency, Lakes High School stands out with a 91.4% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average, though its dropout rate of 6.8% is higher than the state average. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools suggest many students come from low-income households, presenting additional challenges for academic achievement. However, the diverse student populations and pockets of success, such as at Lake Louise Elementary, indicate potential for improvement with targeted interventions and support.
