District-Level NCES Analysis
Ocosta School District operates 3 public schools serving 582 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Grays Harbor County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $17,889 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending.

The district's equity score is 55/100, ranked #97 of 238 in Washington against a state average of 50, in line with the typical spread seen across the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (3 AP courses district-wide), a 296.5:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 17.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.

Ocosta Elementary School accounts for 53.5% of all Ocosta School District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Ocosta School District a distant remainder — means Ocosta School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Ocosta School District school enrollment varies 46× across entities
Ocosta School District school enrollment ranges from 7 students (lowest) to 321 students (highest), a spread of 314 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme enrollment heterogeneity, the district operates both small specialty programs and large comprehensive campuses inside a single budgeting unit. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Ocosta School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 60.6% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Ocosta School District student-counselor ratio is 297:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Ocosta School District is typically wider than the Ocosta School District-aggregate figure suggests.
Ocosta School District chronic absenteeism rate is 17.3% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Ocosta School District is typically wider than the Ocosta School District-aggregate figure suggests.
