Summary:

The 98632 area includes 18 schools serving elementary, middle, and high school students, along with virtual, re-engagement, and youth-services programs. Most are part of the Longview School District, which ranks in the 35th percentile statewide. School performance varies considerably, so families should look beyond the district average and compare individual schools, grade levels, and program types.

Among elementary schools, Columbia Valley Garden Elementary School stands out as the strongest overall, with the highest math and science results and a 58th-percentile statewide ranking. Robert Gray Elementary and Columbia Heights Elementary also perform relatively well, especially in math. Results are lower at Kessler Elementary School and Saint Helens Elementary, although both have shown improvement in selected subjects. At the middle-school level, Monticello Middle School is the clear leader, ranking in the 59th percentile and improving in ELA, math, and science. Mt. Solo Middle School is stronger in ELA, while Cascade Middle School trails the other middle schools in ELA and math.

For high school, R A Long High School offers the strongest overall profile, combining a 92.6% graduation rate with the highest reported ELA, math, and science results among local traditional high schools. Mark Morris High School has the area's highest graduation rate at 92.7%, though its math and science results are lower than R A Long's. High-school math is a major challenge across the area. Longview Virtual Academy, Discovery High School, and Discovery High School-Achieve serve specialized populations and should not be compared directly with comprehensive high schools. Cowlitz County Youth Services Center is associated with Educational Service District 112. Suppressed assessment results indicate unknown data, not zero performance.
