Summary:

ZIP code 98577 has two public schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade: Raymond Elementary School serves grades K–6, and Raymond Junior Senior High School serves grades 7–12. Both are operated by the Raymond School District and enroll about 240 students each, for a combined enrollment of 485. The schools serve an area where approximately two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important context for families evaluating school performance and resources.

Raymond Elementary School is the stronger of the two schools in overall math and science. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 28.33% in math and 48.72% in science, with science standing out as a major strength compared with both the district and the state. Third-grade ELA was also relatively strong at 52%, exceeding the statewide result for that grade. However, the school remains below state averages overall, and ELA and math declined from the previous year. Fourth- and fifth-grade math results were especially weak, suggesting that these grades may be important points for academic support. The school ranked in the 32nd statewide percentile, an improvement over 2023–24 but below its 2024–25 standing.

Raymond Junior Senior High School has the stronger overall ELA performance and a higher current ranking percentile. ELA proficiency reached 48.04%, including an excellent 67.57% for 10th grade, which exceeded the state result. The school’s ranking rose sharply to the 42nd percentile after being at the 3rd percentile the prior year. Math and science remain major concerns, however, with proficiency rates of only 15.84% and 25.53%; eighth-grade results were particularly low. The graduation rate was 76%, below the 82.6% state rate. For families comparing the schools, the elementary school currently shows stronger math and science outcomes, while the high school shows stronger ELA and notable recent improvement, with secondary math, eighth-grade achievement, and graduation the most important areas to monitor.
