Summary

Ocean Shores Elementary is a public PK-6 school serving 254 students in the North Beach School District No. 64, located in a region of Washington where many families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school performs below the state average in English and math, but has a notable strength in science, where its students score above the state average and outperform many neighboring schools like Stevens Elementary School. The school maintains smaller class sizes with a low student-teacher ratio, which is better than several area schools. Performance varies significantly by grade, with some grades performing near state averages while others, particularly in 6th grade, struggle more. Compared to its only in-district peer, Pacific Beach Elementary School, Ocean Shores is the stronger academic performer.

It's important to understand that Ocean Shores Elementary operates in a broader regional context where nearly all nearby schools, such as those in the Aberdeen School District and Hoquiam School District, rank in the lower half of the state. Within this group, Ocean Shores is a mid-tier performer, ranking above schools like Robert Gray Elementary. The school has shown recent improvement in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, a key subgroup.
