Summary

Capt Johnston Blakely Elementary School is a top-ranked public elementary school (PK-4) serving 356 students on Bainbridge Island, WA, within the highly acclaimed Bainbridge Island School District.

The school is a consistent state leader, currently ranking 9th out of over 1,100 Washington elementary schools, with nearly 90% of students proficient in both English and Math. This excellence is sustained across all student groups and grade levels. With a favorable student-teacher ratio and efficient use of resources, it delivers exceptional results even when compared to other high-performing schools in its own district, such as Halilts Elementary School and Ordway Elementary.

This makes district boundaries a strong predictor of academic outcomes in the region, with Blakely representing the pinnacle of a proven educational ecosystem.
