Summary:
ZIP code 98568 has three small schools in the Oakville School District, serving grades K–12 through Oakville Elementary (K–6), Oakville High School (6–12), and Oakville Homelink Alternative School (3–12), with 320 students combined and generally low academic results compared with Washington state.
Oakville Elementary has 157 students and is the strongest local school in science: 50% of students were proficient in science in 2025–2026, nearly matching the 50.95% state result and well above the district’s 36.62%. Its ELA proficiency was 24.14% and math proficiency was 12.07%, both substantially below state averages. Math is the biggest concern, falling more than 20 percentage points from the prior year. Oakville High School serves 142 students and has the area’s best student-teacher ratio at 12.8-to-1. However, its latest proficiency rates were low in ELA (20.73%), math (16.87%), and science (31.71%), and its statewide ranking declined to the 2nd percentile. Its 75% graduation rate in 2023–2024 and historical 21.4% dropout rate suggest that attendance, credit completion, and graduation support deserve attention.
Oakville Homelink Alternative School enrolls only 21 students and reports the highest free/reduced-price lunch participation at 85.71%, compared with about 65% at the other two schools. Its 58% graduation rate in 2023–2024 should be interpreted in light of its alternative-school mission and small enrollment. Overall, the district ranks in the 8th percentile statewide, with the clearest priorities being elementary math, ELA across both traditional schools, and high-school retention and upper-grade science. Elementary science provides an encouraging example of an area where outcomes are close to state levels.
