Summary

Pinecrest Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 410 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in Bremerton, Washington, as part of the Central Kitsap School District.

Academically, Pinecrest's test scores in English and Math are below both the district and state averages, though it performs relatively well in Science. Over the last ten years, the school's statewide ranking has declined. There are significant differences in how well the school serves various groups of students; for example, it is exceptionally effective for Hispanic students but has struggled to achieve similar results for White students, students from low-income families, and male students. This pattern is more pronounced than at neighboring schools like Brownsville Elementary or Cottonwood Elementary School.

While Pinecrest underperforms compared to most schools in its own district, it generally outperforms schools in the neighboring Bremerton School District, such as Armin Jahr Elementary. The school's per-student spending is in the middle of the pack for its district, and the success of higher-performing schools with similar or fewer resources suggests that how resources are used is critical. Pinecrest's past higher performance and current strength in science indicate there is potential for improvement across all subjects.
