Schools in Zip Code 99403

Schools in ZIP code 99403 include 10 schools serving about 2,495 students in the Clarkston School District, with options from prekindergarten through grade 12, including elementary, middle, high, virtual, special-services, and reengagement programs. The area offers a wide range of school experiences and outcomes. Among traditional schools, Charles Francis Adams High School is the strongest overall performer, while Heights Elementary leads the elementary schools. Math is the most consistent academic challenge across the area, and results vary significantly by school and grade.

Charles Francis Adams High School stands out with 67.7% ELA proficiency, 58.21% science proficiency, a 92.2% graduation rate, and a 4.5% dropout rate. Its ranking improved to the 73rd percentile, although math proficiency was lower at 35.63%. Among elementary schools, Heights Elementary has the strongest overall balance, with 56.54% ELA, 43.93% math, and 48.57% science proficiency. Parkway Elementary is notable for strong third-grade results and the largest recent elementary math improvement, but its upper-grade scores decline sharply. Lincoln Middle School is near district levels in ELA but has especially weak math results. Highland Elementary and Grantham Elementary have lower overall achievement, with Grantham the largest traditional-school concern.

Parents should pay particular attention to upper-elementary and middle-school math, where several schools show substantial declines in later grades. Science results also fluctuate considerably from year to year, so a single score should not be treated as a complete picture. The alternative programs serve different student populations and should not be compared directly with conventional schools: Discovery Virtual School has relatively strong ELA but a lower graduation rate, while Educational Opportunity Center reports substantial dropout and completion challenges. Special Services and Educational Opportunity Center Reengagement have specialized missions and limited publicly reported performance data. Suppressed scores should be understood as unknown, not zero.
