Central Kitsap School District

Summary:

The Central Kitsap School District serves around 11,000 students across 19 schools in the Silverdale and Bremerton area, ranging from elementary to high school and including one alternative K-12 program.

When comparing schools, Emerald Heights Elementary and Central Kitsap High School are consistently top performers in the district, while Pinecrest Elementary and Fairview Middle School face greater academic challenges. The district's high schools, including Olympic High School, generally achieve higher graduation rates than the state average, showing strong outcomes for students.

A key finding is that while reading and writing scores in the district are strong, math proficiency is an area for improvement across most schools. Additionally, the alternative Barker Creek Community School operates with very different resources and results, including a much higher dropout rate. Overall, the district performs above the state average in several areas, but performance varies significantly from school to school.
