Summary:
The 98595 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 junior-senior high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools serve different grade levels, they share some common challenges, with most performing below state averages on standardized tests.
The standout school in the area is Ocosta Junior - Senior High, which outperforms the district and state on key metrics like English Language Arts proficiency and 4-year graduation rates. In contrast, Ocosta Elementary and Ocosta ALE struggle, with test scores well below state averages. Ocosta ALE, the smallest school with just 14 students, also spends the least per student despite serving a high-need population with 78.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the schools in the 98595 zip code area present a mixed picture, with one high-performing school and two that are underperforming. The Ocosta School District may want to explore strategies to replicate the success of Ocosta Junior - Senior High and provide additional support to the lower-performing schools to improve student outcomes across the board.
