Summary:
The 98664 zip code in Vancouver, WA, is served by three public schools within the Evergreen School District (Clark): two elementary schools and one specialized high school, with no middle school in the area.
Henrietta Lacks Health and Bioscience High School is the clear standout, ranking significantly higher than the others and far exceeding the state average in English Language Arts. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Ellsworth Elementary School and Marrion Elementary School, have proficiency rates below state averages, though Ellsworth is the stronger performer and has shown recent improvement in its ranking.
An interesting finding is that the high-performing high school operates with the lowest per-student spending among the three, suggesting its specialized health and bioscience focus is a key factor. The elementary schools are on different trajectories, with Ellsworth improving while Marrion has declined, despite both serving similar student populations. Parents should note that all schools are part of a district ranked in the lower quartile statewide, but Henrietta Lacks High and Ellsworth Elementary demonstrate that strong and improving outcomes are possible within this context.
