Brinnon Elementary

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Brinnon Elementary is a small public school serving grades K-8 in the rural town of Brinnon, Washington, with a student population of just 74 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 89.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Brinnon Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency.

In 2023-2024, Brinnon Elementary's ELA proficiency rate was 53.85% compared to the state's 52.63%, and its Math proficiency rate was 51.92% compared to the state's 41.68%. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th grade ELA, where 73.33% of students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state's 48.09%. Brinnon Elementary also excels in Science, with a 57.14% proficiency rate in 2023-2024, compared to the state's 49.73%. This high academic achievement is even more impressive given that the school spends significantly more per student ($22,289 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby North Kitsap School District, Central Kitsap School District, and Quilcene School District, which range from $16,469 to $19,449 per student.

Brinnon Elementary's consistent academic performance, even with a high-needs student population, is particularly noteworthy when compared to the larger, more urban schools in the surrounding districts, such as Hilder Pearson Elementary, Vinland Elementary, and John D. Bud Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park. This suggests that Brinnon Elementary has effective instructional practices and support systems in place to ensure student learning, making it a standout example of how a well-resourced and well-supported school can overcome the challenges of serving a high-needs student population.
