Summary

Pinecrest Elementary in Bremerton, WA, serves about 410 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade within the relatively strong Central Kitsap School District, which ranks in the 75th percentile statewide. Pinecrest’s latest statewide ranking was 631st of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in the 45th percentile with two stars. That is a meaningful improvement from the 31st percentile the prior year, although Pinecrest still ranks below most nearby Central Kitsap elementary schools, including Brownsville Elementary, Cottonwood Elementary School, and Esquire Hills Elementary.

Academically, science is Pinecrest’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 56.45% of students were proficient in science, 5.50 percentage points above the state rate, and Pinecrest has exceeded the statewide science rate in each of the four years reported. Math proficiency was 40.51%, nearly comparable to district and state results and up approximately 11.6 points from the previous year, but it remained below every listed nearby Central Kitsap comparison school. English Language Arts was the main challenge: 46.15% of students were proficient, below both the district and state. ELA results improved by grade, from 37.14% in third grade to 56.45% in fifth grade, while fifth-grade math was the school’s weakest tested grade at 37.10%.

Pinecrest’s recent progress is encouraging, but the school has not yet become locally competitive with higher-performing peers. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.7:1, the highest among the nearby Central Kitsap schools, and about 49.27% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Compared with nearby Woodlands Elementary, Pinecrest performed better in ELA and science but lower in math. A notable positive is Pinecrest’s special education subgroup ranking in the 67th percentile statewide. Overall, the data point to strong science performance, substantial math recovery, and priorities in literacy and sustained math improvement.
