Summary:
Zip code 98569 in the Ocean Shores, Washington area contains one public high school, North Beach Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a small enrollment of 198 students in the North Beach School District No. 64.
This school presents a mixed academic profile with one clear strength: its science proficiency rate of 56.7% is notably higher than the Washington state average. However, performance in other core subjects is a significant concern, with math proficiency at only 16.7% and English Language Arts at 36.1%, both well below state averages. The school's graduation rate of 68.1% is also substantially lower than the state average, though its student dropout rate is slightly better. It operates with a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1 and high per-student spending, but its statewide ranking has declined recently to the 29th percentile.
For parents, the key takeaway is that North Beach Senior High has specific challenges in mathematics and graduation outcomes that should be investigated, but it also demonstrates that strong success in science is achievable. The school's small size and resources could be leveraged to address its academic gaps. Families may want to inquire about the specific supports available for math instruction and credit recovery programs to help students meet graduation requirements on time.
