Summary:
Zip code 99005 in Colbert, WA, is served by three public schools—two elementary and one middle school—enrolling over 1,600 students within the highly-rated Mead School District.
Families in this area have access to two exceptional elementary schools. Midway Elementary is the top performer, consistently achieving high state rankings and strong test scores across all subjects. Colbert Elementary School has shown impressive improvement in recent years and boasts the best student-teacher ratio. Both schools rank in the top 15% in the state and significantly outperform state averages.
The transition to Mountainside Middle School presents a notable shift, as it ranks lower than its feeder elementary schools, with declining rankings and proficiency rates in math and English that, while above the state average, show a clear performance gap. This suggests that while the district provides a strong foundation, the middle school experience in this area may face different challenges that parents will want to consider.
