Summary:
Zip code 98938 contains one elementary school, Outlook Elementary School, serving grades PK-5 in the rural community of Outlook, Washington, as part of the Sunnyside School District.
Outlook Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of Washington elementary schools for the past three years. Student proficiency in English, math, and science is below state averages, though the school's math scores are notably higher than the struggling district average. A concerning trend is the sharp decline in math proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade, suggesting specific difficulties in upper-elementary math instruction that may need targeted support.
Despite these academic results, the school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that exceeds typical averages, indicating substantial investment. The student population has a very high level of economic need. The school's slight improvement in statewide ranking from the previous year may indicate the beginning of positive change, but overall performance remains low within the context of a district that also ranks very poorly statewide.
