I had two kids go through this school with very little I could complain about over the years. It's a really nice school with good caring teachers! They do a good job! My kids loved it there, they felt safe, happy and encouraged to learn in creative ways. It is a small school so all the kids know each other, in a very tight nit community.

Community member here. This community has many wealthy older residents, but most of the schoolchildren's families are struggling economically, with many students unstably housed. New superintendent since 2019, a local person, seems innovative and caring. As of 2023, test scores are improving significantly and already above pre-pandemic levels. Support for diverse students (in every aspect of diversity) is very good and still improving. Performing Arts are a special strength at Ilwaco, with a charismatic teacher who fundraises constantly; takes music/band students to state and national competitions where they do well; and produces a locally acclaimed drama program. A challenged and caring school, in a caring community.

This school does not care about bullying. They have “favorites” and other kids are simply ignored if they aren’t “popular” or don’t have popular parents. The superintendent doesn’t care and only pays lip service to equality. The teachers and other administrators do nothing even when it is brought to their attention numerous times throughout the school year. If you can avoid sending your kids to the Ocean Beach school district absolutely DO!
