Summary:
ZIP code 98595 has one high school, Ocosta Junior - Senior High, a small grades 7–12 school serving 272 students in Westport through the Ocosta School District. About 65.44% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, providing important context about the community’s economic needs. The school has a 16.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio and reported spending of $23,357 per student in 2023–24. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, families do not have another local high school for direct comparison.
The school’s strongest outcome is graduation: its 2024–25 graduation rate was 89%, above the district’s 88% and Washington’s 82.6%. Academic results are more mixed. In 2025–26, English language arts proficiency was 45.38%, higher than the district’s 35.90% but below the state’s 52.81%. Science proficiency was 42.50%, slightly above the district and below the state. English performance was strongest in 10th grade, where 63.16% of students were proficient—nearly matching the statewide rate—while 7th- and 8th-grade results were notably lower.
Mathematics is the clearest concern for families. Only 16.41% of students were proficient in all-grades math, compared with 24.19% in the district and 43.11% statewide. Results were low in every reported grade, ranging from 20.75% in 7th grade to 10.81% in 10th grade. The school also experienced year-over-year declines in ELA, math, and science proficiency, each falling by roughly 7 to 9 percentage points. Overall, the school appears to support students through graduation effectively, but parents should ask about math interventions, early-grade literacy support, attendance, course offerings, and plans to address the recent assessment decline. Its statewide ranking remains relatively modest despite some encouraging graduation, ELA, and science results.
