Seaside School District 10

Seaside School District 10 in Oregon has four schools—two elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), and one high (9–12)—serving 1,438 students and ranking 99th of 141 Oregon districts at the 30th percentile with 2 stars. The district includes Pacific Ridge Elementary School, Seaside High School, Seaside Middle School, and The Cannon Beach Academy.

Academically, The Cannon Beach Academy has the highest reported all-grade proficiency: ELA 66.7% and math 53.3%, well above district (41.6% ELA, 26.9% math) and state (43.8% ELA, 32.9% math); its science score is suppressed. But it enrolls only 37 students, has the highest student-teacher ratio (29.3), and the lowest reported per-student spending ($5,167), so results should be viewed cautiously. Pacific Ridge Elementary School is the strongest larger elementary: ELA 44.1%, math 33.9%, science 23.0%, with 4th grade ELA at 54.7%, the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.1), and highest spending ($24,616). Seaside High School has the weakest outcomes: ELA 35.6%, math 14.3%, science 24.2%, graduation 79.7% vs state 83.0%, chronic absenteeism 46.3%, and three consecutive 1-star rankings. Seaside Middle School has ELA 40.0%, math 22.7%, science 12.5%, and 8th grade science 12.5% and math 17.4%.

Districtwide, proficiency trails the state in ELA (41.6% vs 43.8%), math (26.9% vs 32.9%), and science (20.3% vs 30.6%), with science the clearest weakness. Secondary schools generally lag elementary schools, and chronic absenteeism is high at Seaside High School (46.3%) and Seaside Middle School (40.4%) versus state 33.5%; Pacific Ridge Elementary School is near state at 33.6%. Spending does not simply explain outcomes: Pacific Ridge Elementary School spends the most and performs solidly in ELA/math, while Seaside High School spends the second most but has the weakest results. Suppressed values are unknown, and some free/reduced lunch data are invalid or blank, limiting equity comparisons. Overall, the district is below average, with Pacific Ridge Elementary School and The Cannon Beach Academy as bright spots, though The Cannon Beach Academy’s small size and suppressed detail require caution.
