Summary

Ocosta Elementary School is a public school serving about 321 students in grades PK-6 in the rural coastal community of Westport, WA, as part of the Ocosta School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science well below state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. This is happening despite the school investing more money per student than most nearby schools and having a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which typically allows for more individual attention. For example, while Cosmopolis Elementary School has similar spending and Ocean Shores Elementary serves a similarly high-need population, both achieve stronger academic results.

There are some positive signs and areas for potential growth. Performance in science is relatively stronger compared to other subjects, and student scores tend to improve in the upper grades. Furthermore, while the school serves a community with high economic need, other schools like Stevens Elementary School and McDermoth Elementary in the Aberdeen School District achieve better outcomes with comparable or fewer resources, suggesting targeted strategies could help Ocosta Elementary improve.
