Summary:
ZIP code 98570 contains exactly one elementary school: Onalaska Elementary School, a PK–5 campus with 437 students in the rural community of Onalaska, Washington. It belongs to Onalaska School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no in-area peers to compare against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior years.
Math is the school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 40.72% of students were proficient in math, roughly 8.5 points above the district (32.24%) and only about 2.4 points below the state (43.11%); third grade math (53.45%) was essentially level with the state (53.20%). ELA is the weaker area at 41.67%, below both the district (44.08%) and the state (52.81%). Fifth grade is the biggest concern, with ELA at 34.62% against a state figure of 53.87% and math at 23.08% against 43.32%. Science also swung sharply, dropping from 57.35% in 2024–2025 — then nearly 8 points above the state — to 47.06% in 2025–2026, about 3.9 points below it.
For context, 52.86% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $16,487, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.1. The school's statewide rank percentile slipped from 47 in 2023–2024 to 46 in 2024–2025 and then to 38 in 2025–2026, leaving it with a 2-star rating that matches the district's 2-star rating.
