Pacific Beach Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Pacific Beach Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the North Beach School District in Washington. With a diverse student population of around 110 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in Washington.

Academically, Pacific Beach Elementary struggles, with only 23.81% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 21.43% proficient in math, far below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in math, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates below 30%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Ocean Shores Elementary school.

While Pacific Beach Elementary has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $12,669 in 2019-2020 to $23,042 in 2021-2022, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 15.6 over the past few years, higher than the 13.2 ratio at Ocean Shores Elementary. These factors suggest the need for a more strategic approach to resource allocation and targeted interventions to support the diverse needs of the school's student population.
