Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99357

In the rural area of Royal City, WA (zip code 99357), the Royal School District operates four public schools serving about 1,800 students from preschool through 12th grade, all of which serve a student population with high economic need.

Among these schools, Red Rock Elementary stands out for its strong math performance, scoring well above the state average, and it benefits from the highest per-student spending in the district. In contrast, Royal Middle School has the lowest math scores and the highest rate of student economic need. Royal High School shows a notable strength in its graduation rate, which is above the state average, despite test scores in core subjects generally lagging behind state benchmarks.

A key finding is that the district's early math success at the elementary level does not continue into the higher grades, with middle and high school math scores falling significantly below the state average. While no school in the district meets the state average in English or Science, the high school's improving state ranking and strong graduation outcomes suggest effective support systems for students. The data indicates the district faces systemic academic challenges but has specific bright spots in elementary math and high school completion.
