Summary:
ZIP code 98665 includes seven public schools serving about 3,736 students from elementary through high school, all associated with the Vancouver School District. The area has four elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. Performance varies considerably: Columbia River High has the strongest high-school profile, while Lake Shore Elementary leads the elementary schools. The largest gap is between the middle schools, with Jason Lee Middle School notably outperforming Gaiser Middle School.
Among elementary schools, Lake Shore Elementary has the strongest current results, with 51.55% proficiency in English language arts, 50.93% in math, and 49.32% in science. Its math performance is especially strong compared with district and state averages, although all three subject scores declined from the previous year. Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary is the next strongest elementary option by ranking, but it also experienced broad recent declines. Hazel Dell Elementary School has comparatively solid science results but weaker math performance. Ruth Bader Ginsburg Elementary School has limited available data, consisting mainly of third-grade results, so it is harder to compare fully.
Jason Lee Middle School performs near or slightly above district averages in ELA, math, and science and has maintained a stable statewide ranking. In contrast, Gaiser Middle School ranks near the bottom statewide and remains well below district and state proficiency levels, despite modest year-over-year improvement. At the high-school level, Columbia River High stands out for strong ELA and science results, an 85.9% graduation rate, and a 7.4% dropout rate; math, at 26.16% proficient, is its clearest weakness. Overall, parents may want to focus most closely on middle-school performance, high-school math, and the recent declines at Lake Shore and Eisenhower.
