Summary

Emerald Heights Elementary is a PK–5 school in Silverdale serving 466 students in the Central Kitsap School District, in an area with several nearby elementary-school options. It is the strongest-performing school in this local comparison, ranking 80th out of 1,138 Washington schools, in the 93rd percentile, and earning five stars for 2025–2026. The school’s 2024–2025 free- or reduced-price lunch rate was 32.19%, similar to Brownsville Elementary and Silver Ridge Elementary.

Academically, Emerald Heights reported 81.53% proficiency in English language arts, 75.30% in math, and 70.24% in science—the highest reported results among the nearby schools in all three subjects. Its closest high-performing comparison is Poulsbo Elementary School, which posted 71.71% in ELA and 73.08% in math. Compared with Brownsville, Emerald Heights was ahead by 12.26 percentage points in ELA and 22.13 points in math, despite nearly identical lunch-rate figures. Results also improved from the previous year in every tested subject, helping the school move from 147th statewide to 80th. Grade-level ELA performance was strong in third, fourth, and fifth grades, while fourth-grade math reached 77.27%. One area worth monitoring is fifth-grade math, at 57.14%, well below the fourth-grade result, although still above nearby Central Kitsap schools.

The school’s strong performance extends across several student groups, including low-income students, male and female students, Hispanic students, and white students, based on statewide subgroup effectiveness rankings. Special education and military-connected student rankings were positive but lower than the school’s overall ranking, suggesting areas for continued attention. Emerald Heights also stands out because it combines high achievement with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.1:1 and moderate spending of $18,427 per student. Nearby Silverdale Elementary, Clear Creek Elementary School, and Cottonwood Elementary School reported notably lower overall results, reinforcing Emerald Heights’ position as the local academic leader.
