Summary:
The 98674 area has seven schools serving about 2,546 students across elementary, middle, high-school, and alternative programs, primarily through Woodland School District and the smaller, higher-ranked Green Mountain School District.
Green Mountain School is the strongest overall performer, ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide and posting the area’s highest reported results in English language arts, math, and science. Its math proficiency was 60%, compared with 29.33% at Woodland High School. North Fork Elementary School is another standout, with 56.73% proficiency in English language arts, 58.74% in math, a low student-teacher ratio, and substantial recent ranking improvement. Woodland Middle School also performs above state averages in English language arts, math, and science, with science its strongest subject.
For parents comparing options, the clearest area-wide concern is secondary math. Woodland High School has a strong 89.4% graduation rate, low dropout rate, and above-state English language arts and science results, but math remains substantially weaker. Columbia Elementary School has made the largest long-term ranking gains, although literacy still trails state results. The alternative programs—Woodland Alternative School and Lewis River Academy—serve smaller, specialized populations and report lower math outcomes, so their results should be interpreted in light of different missions and student needs. Overall, Green Mountain and North Fork appear strongest academically, while Woodland schools show encouraging improvement but warrant attention to math and literacy transitions.
