Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 98674

Elementary schools serving ZIP code 98674 include three schools—North Fork Elementary School and Columbia Elementary School, both serving through grade 4, and Green Mountain School, serving kindergarten through grade 8, with 1,001 students across a mix of traditional elementary and K–8 settings.

Green Mountain School has the strongest overall reported academic results, with 62.61% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 60.00% in math, and 69.05% in science. Its district, Green Mountain School District, ranks 35th of 238 districts and is in the 85th percentile. The school also has the lowest reported percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a favorable student-teacher ratio. However, its schoolwide results include students through eighth grade, so they are not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison with the two K–4 schools. Some grade-level results are unavailable, meaning suppressed values should not be interpreted as zero performance.

For families comparing traditional elementary schools, North Fork Elementary School is the stronger choice based on current results, reaching 56.73% proficiency in ELA and 58.74% in math—above both state and Woodland School District averages. It has also improved steadily in statewide rankings. Columbia Elementary School has made the largest recent ELA improvement, rising to 47.01%, but remains below state and district ELA averages; its fourth-grade results are a particular concern. Columbia’s math performance is above the state average, while North Fork leads among the K–4 schools in both subjects. Overall, Green Mountain and North Fork are the strongest performers, while Columbia shows meaningful progress but needs continued support, especially in ELA and fourth grade.
