The 98841 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Omak School District. While the district is ranked 209 out of 247 in Washington and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools emerge from the data.

Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School stands out with the highest enrollment of 1,511 students and relatively strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Omak High School has a lower enrollment of 480 students and mixed test scores, with higher performance in English Language Arts but lower performance in Math and Science. The Paschal Sherman Indian School, an alternative school with 100% Native American enrollment and a high free/reduced lunch rate, offers a more personalized learning environment with a low student-teacher ratio.

The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the schools, with the higher-performing schools like Washington Virtual Academy Omak High School outpacing the district and state averages, while lower-performing schools such as Omak Middle School and E Omak Elementary struggle. This disparity suggests that students in the Omak School District may not have equal access to quality education, and the district could benefit from targeted interventions to address the performance gaps and ensure equity for all students.
