Jewell School, an alternative school, stands out with the highest 11th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 60%, significantly outperforming the Jewell School District 8 and the state of Oregon averages. Additionally, Jewell School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3, suggesting more individualized attention for students. In contrast, Seaside High School and Seaside Middle School, both part of the Seaside School District 10, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

While Pacific Ridge Elementary School is not a top performer, it has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, suggesting the school is making progress. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the Seaside School District and Oregon averages. The data suggests that factors such as free and reduced lunch rates and spending per student may be related to academic performance, with the well-resourced Jewell School excelling and the higher-poverty Seaside High School struggling.
