Summary:
The Ocosta School District in Washington state is home to a single high school, Ocosta Junior - Senior High, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite the district's efforts, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Washington high schools in recent years, indicating persistent academic challenges.
Ocosta Junior - Senior High struggles with low proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels, falling well below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 79.4% is lower than the state average, while its dropout rate of 20.5% is significantly higher. The student population is predominantly White (58.02%) and Hispanic (26.75%), with a high percentage (61.73%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively low-income student population.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the academic performance and outcomes remain subpar. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student success. Addressing the challenges faced by Ocosta Junior - Senior High will require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, curriculum and instructional enhancements, and addressing the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student performance.
