Summary

North Beach Senior High School is a small public high school serving 198 students in grades 9-12 in the coastal community of Ocean Shores, WA, within the North Beach School District No. 64.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture with a notable strength in science, where student proficiency exceeds the state average and significantly outperforms nearby schools like Harbor Junior/Senior High School and J M Weatherwax High School. However, the school faces considerable challenges in mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average, though similar to other area high schools such as Hoquiam High School. English Language Arts performance is below the state average but higher than some local alternatives.

The school's graduation rate has shown significant year-to-year variation, recently falling below the state average, while its dropout rate has improved from a previous high. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1, classes are smaller than at many neighboring schools, which can allow for more individual attention. The school serves a population with a high level of economic need, and its overall district performance is stronger than the Aberdeen School District and Hoquiam School District but trails the Ocosta School District.
