Summary:
For families in the Ocean Shores area (zip code 98569), there is one public elementary school option: Ocean Shores Elementary, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade within the North Beach School District No. 64.
Ocean Shores Elementary shows a clear area of strength in science, where its students outperform both the district and state averages. While the school's overall rankings in English and math are below state averages, it's important to note the school has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years. The school operates with a lower student-to-teacher ratio than many in the state and has a relatively high level of per-student spending, which are positive resources for its students.
An interesting pattern in the data is a drop in proficiency rates in both English and math as students reach 6th grade, which differs from the stronger performance seen in 4th and 5th grades. The school serves a community with high economic need, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge and the district's overall low ranking, Ocean Shores Elementary performs at or above the district average in all core subjects, making it a relative strength within its district.
