Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98584

Summary:

This analysis covers 13 public schools serving grades K-12 in the 98584 zip code around Shelton, WA, across four districts: Shelton School District, Pioneer School District, Hood Canal School District, and Southside School District.

Overall, schools in this area face significant economic challenges, with most having high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and academic performance generally lags behind state averages. However, there are clear standouts, such as Southside Elementary in the Southside School District, which achieves the area's strongest test scores and highest statewide ranking. Within the larger Shelton School District, Bordeaux Elementary School is the top-performing elementary school, and Cedar High School shows impressive recent improvement, especially in science.

Parents should be aware of considerable variation between schools. Middle schools, like Oakland Bay Junior High School and Pioneer Middle School, show particularly low performance ratings. Choice Middle and High School has an alarmingly low graduation rate, while Shelton High School graduates students above the state average. Smaller schools like Cedar High School and Southside Elementary demonstrate that strong outcomes are possible here, even with high economic need.
