Summary:
ZIP code 99037 has seven schools serving about 3,493 students in elementary, middle, and high school grades, all within the Central Valley School District. The area offers several strong-performing schools, although results vary notably by school size, grade level, and subject. The district ranks 46th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it around the 81st percentile.
Sunrise Elementary is the strongest overall school, ranking in the 87th state percentile and leading the area in ELA, math, and science proficiency. Evergreen Middle School is also a consistent high performer, exceeding district and state results in all three tested subjects. Adams Elementary is the most notable improvement story: its ranking rose from the 46th to the 76th percentile over three years, with especially large gains in ELA and math. By comparison, Progress Elementary School remains the lowest-ranked school, though it made substantial year-over-year gains, particularly in science and ELA.
At the high-school level, Central Valley High School has a strong 92.4% graduation rate and the highest high-school ranking, but math proficiency is an area for improvement. Mica Peak High School has better-than-state ELA and science results but a very low math proficiency rate; its small enrollment means percentages should be interpreted cautiously. School to Life serves only 38 students and has too little comparable academic data for meaningful ranking. Overall, the area’s strongest and most consistent results are in elementary and middle school, while high-school math is the clearest shared concern.
