Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99158

Summary:

Zip code 99158 in the rural area of Oakesdale, WA, is served by two public schools within the Oakesdale School District, educating about 150 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The Oakesdale Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with student proficiency in math, English, and science significantly above Washington state averages. In contrast, Oakesdale High School shows more mixed results, performing near the state average in math and English but notably lower in science. This creates a concerning trend where student proficiency declines from elementary to high school, especially in science.

Both schools benefit from very small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios around 12-to-1. Interestingly, the high school receives considerably more funding per student than the elementary school, yet its academic outcomes are lower. Within the high school, middle school grades (6-8) perform better than the high school grades (9-12), suggesting the district may want to examine the transition to high school-level coursework and how resources are allocated at the secondary level.
