Summary:
Cape Flattery School District is a small, remote northwest Washington district with three schools serving about 486 students from kindergarten through grade 12: Neah Bay Elementary School, Neah Bay Junior/Senior High School, and Clallam Bay High & Elementary. All three schools serve communities with high economic need, and the district’s latest overall results remain below Washington averages, particularly in math.
For families comparing schools, Clallam Bay High & Elementary had the strongest overall ELA result at 42.5% and the second-highest science result at 43.75%. It also had the smallest student-teacher ratio, 9.0, and the highest reported spending per student, although its math proficiency was only 19.51%. Neah Bay Elementary School led the district in math at 29.67%, including a strong third-grade math result of 53.57%, but fifth-grade math was much weaker at 10%. Neah Bay Junior/Senior High School had the district’s best science result at 44.68%, driven in part by 11th-grade science proficiency of 63.16%.
The clearest districtwide concern is mathematics: proficiency was 21.72%, compared with 43.11% statewide. Recent trends were encouraging at Neah Bay Junior/Senior High School, which improved in all three subjects, and at Clallam Bay High & Elementary, which made especially large gains in science and ELA. In contrast, Neah Bay Elementary School declined in all three subjects, especially science. Parents should also note that some small-group results are suppressed and that graduation and dropout figures come from different, older reporting years, so they are not direct current comparisons.
