Summary:
ZIP code 98664 has three public schools in the Evergreen School District (Clark), serving students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The schools enroll 1,396 students: two elementary schools and one specialized high school focused on health and bioscience. Overall, the schools show mixed but improving results, with substantial differences between the elementary schools and a particularly strong science profile at the high school.
Ellsworth Elementary School is the strongest all-around performer. It ranks around the 54th percentile statewide and is above the district average in English language arts, math, and science. It also recorded the largest ranking improvement over the past three years. Ellsworth’s 4th-grade results are especially strong, although its 5th-grade math proficiency of 29.63% is a notable concern. Marrion Elementary School ranks lower, around the 28th percentile, but improved in all three subjects during the most recent year. Math is Marrion’s relative strength, while English language arts and science remain below district averages. The two elementary schools have nearly identical student-teacher ratios, making their performance gap an important difference for parents to consider.
Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School has the highest overall ranking in the ZIP code, around the 63rd percentile. Its science proficiency is particularly impressive at 63.01%, well above both district and state results, and its English language arts performance is also above the district average. Mathematics is the school’s main weakness, with only 28.18% of students proficient, while English language arts declined sharply from the prior year. The district reports a 91.7% graduation rate, above the state rate, although current school-specific graduation data was not provided. Parents comparing these schools should focus on Ellsworth’s broad academic strength, Marrion’s ongoing improvement, and Henrietta Lacks’ strong science offerings alongside its need for math support.
