Schools in Ocean Beach School District · Pacific County

North River School and Willapa Valley Middle-High represent Pacific County's strongest academic performers, landing around the 54th to 66th percentile statewide — solid footing for a rural coastal county with six districts spread across small communities like Raymond, Ilwaco, South Bend, and Naselle. None of the county's 12 ranked schools crack the top statewide quartile, which reflects the challenges common to remote Pacific Northwest districts. Families relocating here should approach expectations with clear eyes: the schools serve tight geographic pockets along Willapa Bay and the coast, and while academic results are modest, the district variety across a relatively small population gives some room to compare options.
