Summary

Neah Bay Elementary School is a public elementary school serving about 180 students in grades K-5 in the remote coastal community of Neah Bay, Washington, as part of the Cape Flattery School District.

The school faces challenges common to its area, with academic proficiency generally below the state average, but it consistently performs better than its district overall. It shows notable strengths in supporting specific groups of students, ranking exceptionally high for its effectiveness with Native American students and showing strong results for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio and higher-than-typical per-student spending, which may help address the unique needs of its remote location.

Performance can vary significantly from year to year and between different grades and subjects, with some grades scoring near or above state averages while others struggle. There are no other schools within 20 miles for direct comparison, but within its own Cape Flattery School District, Neah Bay Elementary School stands out as a relative bright spot, outperforming the district's average in most subjects.
