Summary:
The 97411 zip code in Bandon, Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Ocean Crest Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. As part of the Bandon School District 54, Ocean Crest's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 151 out of 710 Oregon elementary schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 287 out of 706 in 2022-2023.
Ocean Crest's academic results are mixed, with 4th grade students outperforming the state averages in both ELA and math proficiency, but 3rd grade students lagging behind in those subjects. The school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% and a relatively low-income student population, with 63.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Ocean Crest benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 17.4, which could be a strength the school can leverage to improve student outcomes.
Overall, while Ocean Crest Elementary is part of a high-performing school district, its own performance has been inconsistent, with both strengths and weaknesses. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to fully understand the school's challenges and opportunities for improvement in order to best support the educational needs of its students.
