Summary

Ocean Crest Elementary School is a K–4 school with 240 students in Bandon, Oregon, part of Bandon School District 54. The district gives it a relatively strong backdrop — ranked 42nd of 141 Oregon districts (70th percentile, 4 stars) — but the school's own latest statewide rank is lower: 419th of 709 schools (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26. That follows two straight years of decline, from 151st of 710 (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–24 to 264th of 706 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25. Historically, Ocean Crest has often been a 2-star school, with a 1-star low in 2016–17 and its 4-star peak in 2023–24.

On 2025–26 state tests, Ocean Crest's all-grade ELA proficiency was 40.4%, below both its district (48.2%) and the state (43.8%), while math was 32.3% — above the district (29.9%) but slightly below the state (32.9%). By grade, third-grade ELA (42.9%) was above the state (41.5%), but fourth-grade ELA (38.0%) and both math grades fell short of state marks. Because the school ends at grade 4, there is no science score. Among nearby schools, Coquille Valley Elementary is the strongest academic comparator (ELA 55.2%, math 51.9%, science 40.7%), and Lighthouse Charter School posts higher ELA (44.0%) with math equal to Ocean Crest's. Myrtle Crest School and Winter Lakes Elementary scored lower in every tested subject.

Context matters. Chronic absenteeism was 35.9% in 2024–25 — above the state (33.5%) and district (28.5%), though improved from 47.2% in 2022–23. Free/reduced lunch rose sharply to 88.33%, similar to Coquille Valley (87.57%), which scores much higher. Meanwhile, resources improved: spending reached $20,420 per student and the student-teacher ratio tightened to 15:1, yet results declined. Effectiveness for low-income students (54th percentile) remains above the school's overall standing, while effectiveness for students with disabilities was 12th percentile in 2025–26. Keep in mind that K–4 results rest on small grade-level cohorts, so year-to-year scores can swing.
