Schools in Zip Code 99357

ZIP code 99357 has four public schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12 within the Royal School District, with a combined enrollment of 1,769 students. The schools provide a complete progression from Red Rock Elementary in grades PK–3 and Royal Intermediate School in grades 4–6 to Royal Middle School in grades 7–8 and Royal High School in grades 9–12.

For parents comparing schools, Royal High School has the strongest ELA performance, with 58.74% of students proficient, and an 86.5% graduation rate that exceeds the statewide rate. However, math is a significant weakness at both the high school and Royal Middle School, where proficiency is about 21%. Royal Middle School has comparatively strong ELA results at 51.67%, but its math results declined from the prior year. Red Rock Elementary has the area’s strongest math performance at 46.67%, although its ELA proficiency is much lower at 29.52% and both subjects declined year over year.

Royal Intermediate School is the most consistently improving school, posting gains in ELA, math, and science. It also has the most favorable student-teacher ratio, while the secondary schools have larger ratios. Science performance is below the state average at every school reporting results, making it another districtwide priority. Overall, the most important academic concern is the sharp drop in math achievement beginning in middle school, followed by below-state science results and the recent ELA decline at Red Rock Elementary. The district’s improving rankings and strong graduation results provide encouraging signs, but families should weigh each school’s distinct subject-area strengths and challenges.
