Summary:
Zip code 98860 has two very small public schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade through the Wilson Creek School District: Wilson Creek Elementary serves grades K–6, and Wilson Creek High serves grades 7–12, with 118 students combined in this rural area.
The two schools have different recent academic profiles. Wilson Creek High is currently the stronger performer, exceeding the district average in English language arts, math, and science. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 39.29% in ELA, 21.43% in math, and 34.78% in science. Its strongest reported result was seventh-grade ELA, at 54.55%, slightly above the Washington average. By comparison, Wilson Creek Elementary reported 21.95% proficiency in ELA, 14.63% in math, and 30% in science. Elementary results were below both district and state averages, and math was the weakest subject at both schools. Elementary performance also declined from the prior year, including a 16.8-point drop in math, while high school results improved in all three reported subjects.
Families should interpret these percentages cautiously because enrollment is very small and many grade-level results are suppressed; a suppressed value means the result is unavailable, not zero. The district ranks near the bottom statewide, but the high school’s ranking has varied sharply from year to year, so rankings alone may not describe current quality. The elementary school serves a higher-need population based on its reported free- or reduced-price lunch rate, while both schools have low student-teacher ratios and relatively high per-student spending. Parents may want to ask about elementary math support, secondary math instruction, recent graduation and dropout results, class sizes, and how the district uses its staffing and resources.
