Summary

John D. Bud Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park is a public elementary school serving about 464 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in Bremerton, Washington, as part of the Central Kitsap School District.

The school holds a solid, middle-of-the-road state rating and has shown steady improvement over the last decade. Academically, it has a notable strength in science, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the district and state averages and outperforms most nearby schools, including those in the neighboring Bremerton School District. Its performance in English Language Arts is above the state average, though math scores, particularly in the upper grades, are an area for growth. Compared to other schools, Bud Hawk achieves these outcomes while spending significantly less per student than most schools in the Bremerton district, suggesting efficient use of resources.

An interesting finding is the school's varied effectiveness with different student groups; it shows particular strength in supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking well above average statewide for that group. However, it faces challenges in supporting military-connected students. When looking at trends, the school's improving trajectory and strong science program are positive signs, while the decline in math scores from 3rd to 5th grade points to a specific instructional opportunity. Within the local landscape, Bud Hawk generally outperforms most Naval Avenue Elementary School but trails the top performer in its own district, Silverdale Elementary.
