Summary:
The city of Ocean Park, Washington has a single school, Ocean Park Elementary, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Ocean Beach School District. With a total enrollment of 196 students, the school has a predominantly white student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and African American students.
Academically, Ocean Park Elementary's performance lags behind state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rate is 36.82%, compared to the district's 38.95% and the state's 52.63%. In Math, the school's proficiency rate is 36.5%, lower than the district's 26.68% and the state's 41.68%. Science proficiency is slightly better at 47.37%, but still below the state average of 49.73%. The school's high percentage of students (75.51%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2 to 1 and high spending of $19,647 per student, the data indicates that Ocean Park Elementary is a struggling school that needs to address its academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, to better serve its predominantly low-income student population. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and student support systems to identify areas for improvement and develop a comprehensive plan to raise student achievement.
