Summary

Ocean Shores Elementary in Ocean Shores, WA, is a public school serving approximately 254 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade in the coastal North Beach School District No. 64. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with about 70.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking reached approximately the 51st percentile, a substantial improvement from the low teens in 2022–23 and higher than every nearby school with current ranking data. The school also reports a favorable 13.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio, among the best in the comparison group.

Academically, math is a notable local strength. In 2025–26, 37.07% of students were proficient in math—well above the 23.03% district rate and higher than most nearby schools. English Language Arts proficiency was 37.61%, slightly above the district but below the state average. Results were strongest in grades three and four, then declined in grades five and six: sixth-grade proficiency was 24.24% in ELA and 25% in math. This upper-grade drop is the school’s clearest area for attention. Science has also been inconsistent, falling to 37.93% in 2025–26 after reaching 51.61% the previous year, so several years of results will be needed to determine whether the decline is temporary.

Compared with nearby schools, McDermoth Elementary is the closest academic benchmark, reporting 47.59% ELA, 38.62% math, and 55% science proficiency, although its student-teacher ratio is less favorable at 16.9 to 1. Cosmopolis Elementary School and A J West Elementary also had higher ELA results, but Ocean Shores ranked ahead of both statewide overall. Taken together, the data show a rapidly improving, middle-performing school with strong momentum, competitive staffing, and a need to sustain gains while strengthening sixth-grade instruction and science consistency.
