Summary:
The Ocean Beach School District has only one high school, Ilwaco High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the coastal community of Ocean Beach, the school faces some academic challenges, particularly in math proficiency, where its scores lag behind the state average. However, the school maintains a relatively high graduation rate of 92.3%, despite having a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Ilwaco High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts, SBAC/Math, and WCAS/Science, is generally lower than the state averages, with the most significant gap in math. The school's student-teacher ratio of 19.1 to 1 is higher than the state average, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive. Despite these challenges, the school's spending per student of $20,147 is higher than the state average, suggesting that the district is investing resources into the school.
Overall, while Ilwaco High School faces some academic hurdles, it is providing support and opportunities for its students to succeed, as evidenced by its relatively high graduation rate. The school's location in a coastal community and its higher proportion of students from low-income families may contribute to the academic performance challenges, but the district's investment in the school indicates a commitment to improving outcomes for its students.
