Best Public Schools in Suquamish, WA

Suquamish, Washington, is served by one public elementary school, Suquamish Elementary School, a PK-5 school enrolling 314 students within the well-regarded, 4-star North Kitsap School District.

This school shows a promising upward trend, improving its statewide ranking significantly over the past year, and it is particularly strong in teaching third-grade students, who outperform both district and state averages in English and math. However, the school faces a notable challenge, as academic performance drops sharply by fifth grade, with proficiency rates falling well below district and state averages. This creates a significant performance gap between younger and older students within the same building.

While the school's overall test scores are near the state average, it consistently scores below the North Kitsap School District average across all subjects. With a moderate level of student economic need, the school is well-resourced, spending above the typical amount per student and maintaining a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which suggests resources are available to address the identified performance variations between grade levels.
