Summary

Ocosta Elementary School in coastal Westport serves 321 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade and is part of the Ocosta School District. The school serves a high-need community: 81.31% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, a higher share than at nearby Ocean Shores Elementary (70.47%), McDermoth Elementary (68.4%), and Cosmopolis Elementary School (57.14%). Its 14.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio is one of the more favorable among nearby schools.

Statewide, Ocosta Elementary School ranks at the 19th percentile, placing it in the lower tier but ahead of Stevens Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary, Robert Gray Elementary, and Central Elementary School. It trails A J West Elementary, Cosmopolis Elementary School, McDermoth Elementary, and Ocean Shores Elementary. The ranking has improved from the 14th percentile in 2023–24, although it remains below the school’s stronger results earlier in the period. In 2025–26, math was a relative strength at 29.67% proficient—5.48 percentage points above the district—but still below Washington’s 43.11%.

English Language Arts is the clearest academic concern: 29.12% of students were proficient, compared with 35.9% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Science was stronger at 40%, close to several nearby schools, though below the state’s 50.95%. Results vary considerably by grade: third-grade math reached 44%, while sixth-grade math was only 17.78%; fifth grade had the strongest ELA result at 34.09%. Overall, the most encouraging signs are recent ranking recovery, modest math improvement, and a relatively strong staffing ratio. The main priorities appear to be consistent literacy growth, support for upper-elementary students, and targeted sixth-grade math intervention.
