Summary:

Schools in ZIP code 98671 include nine schools serving about 2,720 students across elementary, middle, K–8, high school, and alternative programs. Most are part of the Washougal School District, while Mount Pleasant School belongs to the separate Mount Pleasant School District. The area offers several traditional elementary options, two middle schools, one high school, and a small alternative school.

The middle schools are the strongest overall part of the local school system. Jemtegaard Middle School has the highest current ranking, at the 80th percentile statewide, and performs above district and state averages in English language arts, math, and science. Canyon Creek Middle School has the area’s best science performance, with 75% of students proficient, although its English results are more moderate. Among elementary schools, Hathaway Elementary has the strongest overall current achievement profile, while Gause Elementary has made the largest recent ranking improvement. Columbia River Gorge Elementary School improved notably in English and math, while Cape Horn Skye Elementary currently ranks lowest among the conventional elementary schools.

Mount Pleasant School reports the highest English and math proficiency, but its small enrollment and older ranking make comparisons less certain. Washougal High School has a solid 86.7% graduation rate and strong English performance, but math is its clearest area for improvement. Washougal Learning Academy serves only 13 students, so its results should be viewed in the context of its alternative-school mission and small size. Overall, parents will find the strongest academic results in the middle grades, varied elementary performance, and a high school with good graduation and English outcomes but weaker math results.
