Summary:

Zip code 98610 in Carson, WA, is served by two public schools within the Stevenson-Carson School District, enrolling a total of 476 students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

Families in this area will find Carson Elementary School (grades K-5) and Wind River Middle School (grades 6-8). Both schools serve a community with high economic need, with over half of all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Carson Elementary has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio, recent academic performance data is more readily available for Wind River Middle School, which shows notable year-to-year changes in its statewide ranking.

The available data reveals that Wind River Middle School's academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics, lags behind state averages, despite a per-student spending level above $20,000. A notable bright spot is the school's 8th-grade English Language Arts performance, which exceeds the state average. The significant drop in the middle school's ranking from one year to the next suggests potential volatility in performance that parents may want to investigate further. Overall, the district faces the challenge of improving academic outcomes, especially in math, to match the level of resources invested.
