Summary

View Ridge Elementary Arts Academy is a public elementary school serving about 388 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Bremerton School District, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

Academically, the school's performance has declined over the past decade and now sits below state averages, though it performs slightly better than the district average in English and Math. A notable strength is its science program, which outperforms several nearby schools like West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy and Armin Jahr Elementary. However, there is extreme variability between grades, with 4th graders performing well in English only to see 5th-grade math proficiency drop dramatically. The school receives substantial funding per student, but this has not led to superior outcomes compared to higher-performing schools in the area.

When compared to other local options, the school's arts focus does not appear to provide a clear academic advantage. Schools in the neighboring Central Kitsap School District, such as Esquire Hills Elementary, consistently achieve better results. Within its own district, Kitsap Lake Elementary is a high-performing standout, and the district's Bremerton Homelink Program dramatically outperforms all traditional schools, suggesting that instructional approach can be more impactful than resources alone.
