Summary

Suquamish Elementary School is a public elementary school serving about 314 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the North Kitsap School District, with a student-teacher ratio of about 15 to 1 and a ranking that places it in the middle of all Washington state elementary schools.

The school serves a community with a higher level of economic need than many of its neighbors, and its academic performance is generally close to the state average, with math scores slightly above and English and science scores slightly below. A notable pattern is that students often perform well in the early grades, but there is a significant decline in proficiency rates by 5th grade, a trend more pronounced here than at nearby schools like Poulsbo Elementary School or Vinland Elementary. The school has shown particular effectiveness with its Hispanic student population, ranking higher for that group than for the school overall.

Compared to other schools in the area, such as the highly-ranked Halilts Elementary School on Bainbridge Island, Suquamish operates with different challenges and resources, having higher per-student spending but a larger share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its performance has improved since last year but remains below its pre-pandemic ranking, indicating ongoing recovery efforts. The school's journey highlights how outcomes can vary even within the same district, as seen with the higher-performing Poulsbo Elementary and the lower-performing David Wolfle Elementary.
