Summary:
ZIP code 98933 has one public school, Harrah Elementary School, serving students from prekindergarten through sixth grade in the Mount Adams School District. The school enrolls 451 students and has a 14:1 student-teacher ratio. Nearly 95% of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, an important factor to consider when reviewing the school’s academic results and student support needs.
Harrah Elementary’s strongest current subject is math. In 2025–26, 20.76% of students were proficient in math, compared with 12.61% in English language arts and 18.64% in science. Harrah performed above the district average in math and science, although its results in every subject were below Washington’s statewide averages. Third-grade math stands out as a bright spot, with 43.64% of students proficient—much higher than the results in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. The school also made notable year-over-year gains in math and science, while ELA improved only slightly.
Parents should be aware that overall achievement remains a significant challenge. ELA and math results drop sharply in the upper grades, reaching just 5.88% proficiency in sixth-grade ELA and 7.35% in sixth-grade math. Compared with the state, Harrah’s largest gaps are in ELA and science. The school’s statewide ranking improved to the 6th percentile in 2025–26, up from the 0th percentile in the prior two years, which suggests recent progress but still places it among Washington’s lower-performing schools. Families may want to ask about literacy programs, upper-grade math support, attendance and intervention services, and how the school plans to build on the stronger third-grade math results.
