Summary

Fairview Middle School is a public school serving about 620 students in grades 6–8 in Bremerton’s Central Valley area. It is part of the Central Kitsap School District, which ranks in the 75th percentile statewide. Fairview’s own 2025–2026 ranking is in the 45th percentile, making it an improving but still uneven-performing school. Its statewide standing has risen from the 33rd percentile in 2021–2022, a gain of 77 ranking places and 12 percentile points.

Academically, mathematics is the clearest challenge. In 2025–2026, 30.16% of students were proficient in math, compared with 42.99% across the district and 43.11% statewide. English language arts proficiency was 45.06%, while science was stronger at 48.85%, nearly matching the state result. Science has also improved substantially from 37.50% in 2022–2023. Eighth-grade ELA stands out as a bright spot, with 53.29% proficiency—above the statewide eighth-grade rate—while seventh-grade ELA was lower at 40.21%. Fairview serves a higher share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 50.48%, than nearby Central Kitsap Middle School or Ridgetop Middle School, an important context when comparing results.

Among its closest same-district comparisons, Fairview trails both schools in ELA and math. Ridgetop Middle School ranks in the 69th percentile, and Central Kitsap Middle School ranks in the 66th, compared with Fairview’s 45th percentile. Fairview is nevertheless stronger than Marcus Whitman Middle School and Mountain View Middle School in all three subjects. Reported spending and staffing levels are broadly similar to nearby schools, so the available data do not identify a simple resource explanation for the differences. Overall, Fairview’s strongest indicators are its improving long-term ranking, science gains, and eighth-grade ELA; its main priorities appear to be schoolwide math and seventh-grade ELA.
