Summary:
ZIP code 98640 has one elementary school, Ocean Park Elementary, serving students in grades 3–5 in the coastal Ocean Park area of southwest Washington. The school enrolls 212 students and has a student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1. Since it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, there is no school-to-school comparison available; the most useful perspective comes from its results over time and comparisons with the Ocean Beach School District and Washington state.
In 2025–2026, science was Ocean Park’s strongest subject, with 40.79% of students proficient, followed by English Language Arts at 34.03% and math at 28.27%. Math was the school’s clearest relative strength: its proficiency rate was 5.80 percentage points higher than the district’s 22.47%, although it remained 14.84 points below the state rate. Science was slightly below the district overall but was nearly identical in fifth grade, while ELA trailed both the district and state. Fourth grade had the strongest ELA result at 40.74%; math performance was consistently low across all grades, ranging from 26.32% to 29.63%.
Parents should be aware that results declined across all three subjects from the previous year: ELA fell 6.77 points, math 7.08 points, and science 7.69 points. The school’s statewide ranking also dropped from the 30th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 12th percentile in 2025–2026. About 67.92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that many families may benefit from strong academic and support services. Overall, the data point to math and ELA as the most important improvement areas, while science offers a promising foundation. Families may also want to ask the school how it is responding to the broad recent decline and supporting students across all three grade levels.
