Summary

North Beach Senior High School is a small public high school in Ocean Shores, Washington, serving grades 9–12 and 198 students through the North Beach School District No. 64. The school has a 15.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and serves a coastal community with substantial economic need, with 59.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its latest statewide ranking places it at the 36th percentile, an improvement from the prior year but still in the lower-middle range.

Science is North Beach’s clearest strength: 57.81% of students were proficient in 2025–26, exceeding both the district and Washington statewide rates and outperforming nearby Ocosta Junior - Senior High, Hoquiam High School, and J M Weatherwax High School. English Language Arts proficiency was 39.62%, below the state rate but somewhat ahead of the district. Mathematics is the main academic challenge, with only 16.98% proficient—roughly 26 percentage points below Washington’s rate and similar to results at Ocosta and J M Weatherwax. The relatively favorable staffing ratio may allow for individual attention, but it has not yet translated into stronger math outcomes.

Graduation is the school’s most important concern. North Beach’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 68.1%, well below Washington’s 82.6% and the rates at Ocosta (89.0%), Hoquiam (85.1%), and J M Weatherwax (81.0%). However, its dropout rate improved to 9.0%, slightly better than the state rate, suggesting that the graduation decline may involve credit completion, attendance, transfers, or students taking longer to finish rather than simply more students dropping out. Because the school is small, yearly results can shift substantially with changes in a single cohort. Parents may want to look closely at graduation supports, math instruction, attendance, and credit recovery while also recognizing North Beach’s consistent science strength.
