Summary:

This analysis covers nine schools serving grades K-12 in the Washougal, WA area (zip code 98671), primarily within the Washougal School District, which ranks in the 65th percentile statewide.

Among standout schools, Jemtegaard Middle School is the highest-ranked (76th percentile) with strong English scores, while Hathaway Elementary excels in science despite having a higher rate of students from lower-income families. In contrast, Gause Elementary has the lowest ranking and declining performance, and Columbia River Gorge Elementary School has seen a significant recent drop in its rank.

The district shows a clear pattern of strength in science and graduation rates but a widespread challenge with math proficiency, as seen at Washougal High School. The smaller Mount Pleasant School from a different district is a notable outlier with the area's highest math scores, while the very small Washougal Learning Academy serves an alternative population.
