Summary:
The 98569 ZIP code, including the Ocean Shores area, has three public schools serving grades PK–12: Ocean Shores Elementary, North Beach Junior High School, and North Beach Senior High School, all part of North Beach School District No. 64.
Ocean Shores Elementary is the strongest-ranked school locally, at the 51st percentile with three stars, and it made the largest recent improvement. Its ELA and math results increased, with math proficiency reaching 37.07%, well above the district’s 23.03%, although science declined to 37.93%. North Beach Senior High School stands out for science, where 57.81% of students were proficient—above both district and state results. It also improved to the 36th percentile, but its math proficiency was only 16.98%, and its 68.1% graduation rate was considerably below the 82.6% state rate. North Beach Junior High School had the lowest ranking, at the 28th percentile, despite having the smallest student-teacher ratio and highest spending per student.
Mathematics is the clearest area of concern across the local system. Proficiency falls from 37.07% in elementary school to 18.10% in junior high and 16.98% in high school; at the elementary level, it drops from 53.85% in third grade to 25.00% in sixth grade. ELA is comparatively stronger: all three schools exceed the district average and improved by roughly four percentage points, though each remains below the state rate. Science shows the opposite pattern, rising from 37.93% in elementary school to 47.37% in junior high and 57.81% in high school. Overall, the schools show positive ranking momentum, but families may want to pay particular attention to secondary math support, graduation outcomes, and the sharp elementary science decline. Free- or reduced-price lunch participation ranges from about 60% to 70%, providing important context about the student population and school needs.
