Summary:
ZIP code 98933 has one elementary school, Harrah Elementary School, serving students from Pre-K through sixth grade in a rural community. The school enrolls 451 students and is part of the Mount Adams School District, so there is no within-ZIP comparison among elementary schools.
Harrah Elementary serves a community with substantial economic need: 94.68% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school reported a 14:1 student–teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and $21,346 in per-student spending in 2023–2024. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 12.61% in English language arts, 20.76% in math, and 18.64% in science. Math and science were above the district averages of 14.32% and 14.92%, respectively, while ELA was slightly below the district’s 13.01%. However, the school remained below Washington’s statewide rates in all three subjects: 52.81% in ELA, 43.11% in math, and 50.95% in science.
The clearest strength was third-grade math, where 43.64% of students were proficient, compared with 7.35% in sixth grade. This large decline across the upper grades is an important concern, as is consistently low ELA performance, which fell to 5.88% in sixth grade. There were encouraging recent gains: math increased 13.68 percentage points and science increased 14.09 points from the prior year, while ELA rose only 0.63 points. The school’s statewide ranking also improved from 1,158th of 1,160 schools to 1,065th of 1,138, though it remained near the bottom statewide. Families considering the school should note its recent math and science progress while paying close attention to upper-grade math and schoolwide reading and writing support.
