Best High Schools in Zip Code 98674

ZIP code 98674 has two public high schools serving grades 9–12, both part of the Woodland School District. Together, Woodland High School and Woodland Alternative School enroll 763 students. Woodland High serves most students, with 667 enrolled, while the alternative school serves 96. The district ranks 93rd of 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 61st percentile.

Woodland High School is the stronger-performing option overall. It ranks 160th of 396 Washington high schools, compared with 315th for Woodland Alternative School. Woodland High has an 89.4% graduation rate, compared with 79.0% at the alternative school, and its reported dropout rate of 6.5% is below both district and state rates. Woodland High also performs slightly above district and state averages in English language arts and above the state in science. Its recent results improved in every reported subject, with the largest gain in science. Math remains the main concern: only 29.33% of students were proficient, well below district and state levels.

Woodland Alternative School has nearly identical overall math performance to Woodland High, at 29.41%, but its English language arts proficiency was much lower at 23.53%, and its result declined from the prior year. Its science result is suppressed, so current performance cannot be determined. The alternative school also reports a much higher student-teacher ratio, 48:1 versus 22:1 at Woodland High, and lower per-student spending in the available data. Because alternative schools may serve students with different academic histories and support needs, these comparisons provide useful context but do not explain the causes of the outcome gaps. Parents may wish to focus on Woodland High’s math supports and ask about academic, attendance, staffing, and graduation support at the alternative school.
