Summary:
ZIP code 99029 has one elementary school, Reardan Elementary School, serving grades K–6 and about 345 students in the Reardan-Edwall School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, families cannot compare local schools directly; the most useful context comes from comparing the school with its district and Washington state. The school has a 14:1 student-teacher ratio, and 48.12% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Academic results are mixed. In 2025–2026, 41.00% of students were proficient in English language arts, compared with 49.73% districtwide and 52.81% statewide. Mathematics was a relative strength compared with the district: 37.31% were proficient at the school, versus 35.95% in the district, although the state rate was higher at 43.11%. Science was the strongest overall subject, with 50.00% proficiency—close to the district’s 51.88% and the state’s 50.95%. Results vary considerably by grade. Third-grade math was a standout at 53.66%, slightly above both district and state results. In contrast, fourth-grade ELA was 26.67%, and fifth-grade math was 22.92%, making those the clearest areas for improvement.
The school’s strongest recent trend is science, which improved from 41.54% in 2024–2025 to 50.00% in 2025–2026. ELA declined by 5.31 percentage points and math declined by 4.77 points over the same period, so those changes should be considered alongside student cohorts and other year-to-year factors. The district itself ranks 43rd of 238 Washington districts, in the 82nd percentile, with a four-star rating, although the school’s individual ranking has fluctuated and was at the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025. For parents, the main positives are the favorable student-teacher ratio, strong district setting, solid third-grade math, and improving science performance; the most important questions concern support for fourth-grade reading and fifth-grade math.
