Summary:
The Bremerton School District serves students through seven elementary schools, including a unique K-8 homeschool partnership program, in a district that ranks in the lower third statewide.
Among these schools, the Bremerton Homelink Program stands out as the top performer, achieving test scores well above the others, though it operates on a very different homeschool model. For traditional schools, Kitsap Lake Elementary consistently leads in math and science proficiency, while Crownhill Elementary School has shown strong science scores despite a recent drop in its overall ranking. Notably, Naval Avenue Elementary School has made significant improvement in recent years.
Overall, the Bremerton School District faces challenges, with most schools scoring below state averages in core subjects. Performance varies widely between schools and even between grade levels within the same school. There is a notable pattern where schools with lower rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, like Kitsap Lake and Crownhill, tend to have higher academic rankings than schools with higher rates, such as West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy and Armin Jahr Elementary.
