Summary:
ZIP code 99130 has two public schools serving students from prekindergarten through eighth grade: Garfield Elementary serves PK–5, and Garfield Middle School serves grades 6–8. Both are operated by Garfield School District. Together, they enroll just 82 students, and there is no high school or alternative school listed in the ZIP code.
Garfield Elementary is the stronger-performing school based on the latest available results. In 2025–2026, 62.96% of students were proficient in English language arts and 59.26% in math, both higher than district and state results. The school also improved from the prior year, particularly in math. Its small enrollment, 9.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 73rd-percentile district standing may appeal to families seeking a small-school setting. Some grade-level results are not reported, so the available percentages should be viewed as useful indicators rather than exact measures of every grade’s performance.
Garfield Middle School has a more mixed academic profile and is the main area parents may want to investigate further. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 36.59% in English language arts and 19.51% in math, well below district and state rates. Science was a relative strength at 54.55%, exceeding the statewide result. The school’s ranking has also declined over the available years, from the 74th to the 53rd percentile. Because the middle school has only 31 students, one or two students can noticeably affect percentages, and suppressed grade-level results should not be interpreted as zero. Overall, the key contrast is strong elementary performance followed by a substantial middle-school gap, especially in math.
