Vancouver School District overview

Vancouver School District serves 21,783 students district-wide at a 19:1 student-teacher ratio, rated above average by Niche. State test proficiency runs 31% math and 44% reading -- real, disclosed figures rather than a vague characterization.

Evergreen Public Schools serves a separate part of the city

Not all of Vancouver falls under Vancouver School District specifically -- Evergreen Public Schools, a separate district, also serves a meaningful share of Vancouver-area residents and is itself a top-10 local employer. Confirm which specific district and school zone applies to a target address rather than assuming one district covers the whole city.

Confirm the specific zoned school for a target address

Given real variation across a large district, confirm the elementary, middle, and high school zoned to a target Vancouver address directly rather than relying on the district-wide rating alone.
