Schools in Zip Code 98595

Zip code 98595 has two public schools serving approximately 593 students in a small, rural coastal community: Ocosta Elementary School serves prekindergarten through 6th grade, while Ocosta Junior - Senior High serves grades 7 through 12. Both schools are operated by the Ocosta School District and are located at the same Westport address, creating a continuous local pathway from early childhood through graduation.

Ocosta Junior - Senior High is the stronger-performing of the two schools overall. It ranks in the 36th statewide percentile and has a two-star rating, compared with the elementary school’s 19th-percentile ranking and one-star rating. The high school’s most notable strengths are its 89% graduation rate, which is above both the district and state rates, and its 45.38% English Language Arts proficiency. Tenth-grade ELA is especially strong at 63.16%, nearly matching the statewide result. However, math is a major concern: only 16.41% of students are proficient, with low results across grades 7, 8, and 10. High school ELA, math, and science scores also declined from the previous year, so recent results should be monitored.

Ocosta Elementary School has smaller classes by its reported student-teacher ratio and shows some encouraging math results, exceeding the district average with 29.67% proficiency. Third-grade math is a relative standout at 44%, but sixth-grade math falls to 17.78%, suggesting a need to strengthen preparation for secondary coursework. Elementary ELA is the weakest subject at 29.12%, below both district and state results, while science is closer to the district average. Overall, families should expect a small-school environment with a complete PK–12 pathway, strong graduation outcomes, and particular academic attention needed in elementary literacy and mathematics throughout the secondary grades.
