Best Public Schools in Zip Code 98680


Summary:

The 98680 zip code in Vancouver, Washington, contains one public elementary school, Fruit Valley Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 in the Vancouver School District.

This school stands out for its significant investment in resources, including a very low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 and high per-student spending of $25,637, which is well above typical averages. However, it also serves a student population with a very high level of economic need, with nearly 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state tests are critically low, with only about 8% of students proficient in English and 7% in math, creating a gap of over 40 percentage points compared to Washington state averages.

The school's low academic performance has been a persistent challenge, as it has been ranked in the bottom 1-2% of all elementary schools in Washington for the last three years. While the Vancouver School District as a whole performs below the state average, Fruit Valley Elementary School performs far below its own district's averages. This indicates that the school faces deep-rooted challenges that are not solved by funding alone, requiring targeted support and intervention to improve outcomes for its students.
