Summary:
This analysis examines three public high schools serving grades 9-12 in zip code 98606, located in the Brush Prairie, Washington area, which together enroll over 1,000 students across two different school districts.
The standout school is Hockinson High School, part of the Hockinson School District, which ranks among the top 15% of high schools in the state with a 97% graduation rate and strong test scores, particularly in English. In stark contrast, Summit View High School in the Battle Ground School District faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% statewide with a graduation rate of 45.6% and very low math proficiency. The third option, Open Doors Battle Ground, is a small alternative school in the same district with limited reported academic data.
This reveals a dramatic performance gap within the same zip code, showing that district and school quality are major factors. Hockinson High consistently excels, while Summit View struggles profoundly, especially in mathematics. Interestingly, spending per student is slightly higher at the lower-performing Summit View, indicating that funding alone does not determine success. For families, this highlights the importance of looking beyond geography to specific school and district performance when evaluating educational options in the Brush Prairie area.
