Summary:
The city of Ilwaco, Washington is home to two schools: Ilwaco High School and Hilltop Elementary School, both part of the Ocean Beach School District. While the schools serve the local community, the data reveals that both are underperforming academically compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and declining statewide rankings.
Ilwaco High School and Hilltop Elementary School face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the schools have relatively homogeneous student bodies, with predominantly White student populations and small percentages of other racial and ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may limit the schools' ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience and prepare students for an increasingly diverse world.
The combination of low academic performance, high socioeconomic disadvantage, and lack of diversity suggests that the Ilwaco schools may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of their student populations and improve educational outcomes. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to ensure that all students in Ilwaco receive a high-quality education and are equipped to succeed in the future.
