Summary:
ZIP code 98660 has three schools serving students from kindergarten through grade 12: two neighborhood elementary schools and one small alternative school for students in grades 3–12, with about 533 students total.
Lincoln Elementary School and Hough Elementary School are the most directly comparable schools because both serve grades K–5 and belong to the Vancouver School District. Lincoln is slightly larger, with 280 students compared with Hough’s 238, and has the stronger current ranking. Lincoln also leads in overall math and science: 42.47% of students are proficient in math and 51.92% in science, compared with 37.74% and 51.52% at Hough. Lincoln’s third-grade results are especially strong, including 76.19% proficiency in math and 58.14% in English language arts. However, its fourth- and fifth-grade math results are much lower, making later-grade math an important area for families to examine.
Hough has the stronger recent momentum. Its statewide ranking rose from the 24th percentile to the 38th percentile in one year, and proficiency improved in English language arts, math, and science. Hough also has the better overall English language arts result, at 43.40%, and its fifth-grade English language arts proficiency reached 55.88%. Both elementary schools perform above their district in all three tested subjects, while science is their strongest shared area relative to the state. Clark County Juvenile Detention School serves only 15 students in a specialized setting and is associated with Educational Service District 112; it has no reported test results in the supplied data, so it should not be compared directly with the neighborhood schools.
