Summary

Suquamish Elementary School is a public PK–5 school serving 314 students in the Suquamish community on Washington’s Kitsap Peninsula and is part of the comparatively strong North Kitsap School District, which ranks in the state’s 80th percentile. The school has a 15.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio and serves a higher-need population than most nearby schools, with 55.73% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its current statewide ranking is in the 44th percentile, or 632nd among 1,138 schools.

Academically, Suquamish currently trails most nearby North Kitsap elementary schools. In 2025–26, proficiency was 42.31% in English language arts, 47.10% in math, and 45.00% in science. Math is the relative strength: Suquamish exceeded the statewide math rate, and third-grade math reached 58.70%. However, fifth grade was a major weakness, with only 33.90% proficiency in both ELA and math. ELA and science also lagged the district by 15.34 and 16.81 percentage points, respectively. Nearby Poulsbo Elementary School, Vinland Elementary, Richard Gordon Elementary, and Hilder Pearson Elementary all rank notably higher, while David Wolfle Elementary ranks lower.

The school’s position has declined from the 77th percentile in 2018–19 to the 44th percentile today. Math has remained fairly stable, but science fell from 58.18% proficiency in 2022–23 to approximately 45% in each of the following three years. Suquamish spends $21,645 per student, more than most nearby comparison schools, so class size and funding alone do not explain the results. For families, the clearest questions concern reading and science instruction, fifth-grade support, attendance, intervention effectiveness, and services for economically disadvantaged students. The school’s relatively strong district, competitive staffing ratio, and stronger third-grade math performance provide useful foundations for improvement.
