Summary:
The North Kitsap School District in Washington serves high school students through three distinct schools: two traditional comprehensive high schools and one alternative academy, with enrollments ranging from just over 50 to nearly 1,100 students.
North Kitsap High School is the district's top-ranked and most consistent performer, boasting high graduation rates and strong academic results, while Kingston High School has shown impressive recent improvement to also earn a high state ranking, achieving similar success in English and science despite serving a student population with greater economic need. The smaller Choice Academy operates as an alternative program with a very low student-teacher ratio, catering to students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting, though its academic performance metrics are significantly lower than the comprehensive schools.
Overall, the district's high schools are strong, with both North Kitsap High and Kingston High ranking in the top quartile statewide and exceeding state averages for graduation and proficiency; a key area for attention across the district is mathematics proficiency, where both comprehensive schools have room for growth compared to their performance in other subjects.
