Summary

Pacific Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school in Seaside, Oregon, serving 605 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Seaside School District 10, which is ranked 82 out of 140 districts in the state.

Pacific Ridge Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 56.3% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 45.8% proficient in Math, compared to 40.3% and 40.1% statewide, respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well for its Hispanic and English Language Learner student populations, ranking in the top quartile of Oregon elementary schools for these subgroups. However, Pacific Ridge struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 46.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Comparing Pacific Ridge to nearby schools provides valuable context. The closest school, The Cannon Beach Academy, has a much smaller enrollment and higher student-teacher ratio. Hilda Lahti Elementary School has lower test scores across all grades and subjects, while Nehalem Elementary School outperforms Pacific Ridge in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Despite Pacific Ridge's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance on state assessments is generally stronger than the state average, suggesting effective support for its economically disadvantaged students.
