Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 98558


Summary:

Zip code 98558 is served by one elementary school, McKenna Elementary, which educates about 418 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Yelm School District.

McKenna Elementary is a solid, 3-star rated school that performs well compared to broader averages, particularly in math and science. Its math proficiency of nearly 49% outpaces both the district and state, with third graders showing exceptional strength. However, the school's state ranking has dipped over the past few years from the 73rd to the 59th percentile, indicating increased competition or changing performance trends, even though its star rating has held steady.

Key insights for parents include the school's academic strengths and some areas to watch. It consistently beats its district averages across all core subjects, with a notable advantage in science. A significant finding is the wide performance gap between grades; for example, third-grade math scores are much stronger than fifth-grade scores, which may point to curriculum or instructional focus differences. With nearly half of students eligible for meal assistance, the school's ability to outperform averages is commendable, though the recent ranking decline suggests a need to understand evolving educational challenges.
