Summary:
Zip code 98650 has two small public schools operated by the Trout Lake School District, serving a continuous K–12 pathway in a rural community: Trout Lake Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 4, while Trout Lake School serves grades 5–12. Together, they enroll about 209 students and operate at the same address, offering families a small-school environment with student-teacher ratios below 15 students per teacher.
Trout Lake Elementary is the stronger-ranked school, placing in the 71st percentile statewide for 2024–25 and earning four stars. Its clearest strength is mathematics: 58.82% of students were proficient in 2025–26, compared with 46.74% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Its English language arts result was also above the state rate, although slightly below the district average. The school’s ranking has declined from earlier years, but it has retained its four-star rating. Fourth-grade results were solid, while some grade-level data was suppressed for privacy and cannot be interpreted as zero or poor performance.
Trout Lake School ranks in the 55th percentile and holds a three-star rating, but its latest academic results show encouraging momentum. English language arts proficiency reached 62.3%, and science reached 65%, both stronger than statewide results; science matched the district rate. Math was lower at 39.66%, below both the district and state, making secondary mathematics the main area for continued attention despite a substantial year-over-year improvement. The school’s reported proficiency increased in all three tested subjects, and its ranking improved from the prior year. Families should also note that small enrollment can make yearly percentages fluctuate, while the available graduation figure is historical rather than current.
