Summary:
The Cape Flattery School District contains one elementary school, Neah Bay Elementary School, serving about 180 students in grades K-5 in a remote, high-need community.
Neah Bay Elementary consistently performs better than the Cape Flattery School District averages in English, math, and science, which is notable given that over 86% of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school invests significantly in its students, with high per-pupil spending and a low student-to-teacher ratio, providing substantial individual support. Its performance has remained stable in recent years, typically ranking in the 34th to 39th percentile among Washington elementary schools.
Academic results show clear strengths and challenges by grade level; for instance, fifth graders excel in English while third graders perform well in math, but fourth-grade math scores are a significant area for improvement. Science is a relative strength for the school, with scores closer to the state average. For parents, this indicates a school that is a stronger performer within its struggling district context, with dedicated resources and specific grade-level successes, but with overall academic outcomes that still lag behind state averages.
