Summary

Central Kitsap Middle School is a public school serving about 564 students in grades 6-8 in Silverdale, part of the well-regarded Central Kitsap School District.

The school is solidly average in statewide rankings, performing better than the state average in English but lagging in math and science. It shows a particular strength in effectively educating Hispanic students. However, it faces a significant challenge in supporting its military-connected students, an important subgroup given the area's proximity to naval bases. Notably, the school has seen a decline from being a top-ranked school a decade ago to its current middle-tier position.

Compared to its two sister schools in the same district, Ridgetop Middle School performs better while Fairview Middle School performs worse, despite all three having similar resources. When looking at nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Poulsbo Middle School and Cedar Heights Middle School, Central Kitsap Middle School has room for improvement, especially in mathematics.
