Summary:

Zip code 98499 contains one public middle school, Lochburn Middle School, serving grades 6-8 in the Lakewood area as part of the Clover Park School District.

Parents should be aware that Lochburn Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking at the very bottom of Washington state middle schools for the last three years. Academic proficiency rates are critically low across all subjects, with only 7.55% of students proficient in math and 13.58% in English Language Arts, which is dramatically below both the district and state averages. This pattern of underperformance has been persistent, indicating deep-rooted difficulties.

Despite these severe academic struggles, the school has a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 15-to-1 and high per-student spending. The student population has a high level of economic need, with over 82% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. For families in this area, the data suggests that Lochburn Middle School requires substantial, systemic improvement to support student learning and achieve outcomes comparable to other schools in the state.
