Summary

Vinland Elementary is a public PK–5 school in Poulsbo serving 527 students in the North Kitsap School District, near several other district schools and elementary schools in Central Kitsap. It ranks in the 71st percentile statewide and has a four-star rating, making it a solid above-average school in the area. Vinland’s student-teacher ratio is 17.7, and 31.5% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25.

Mathematics is Vinland’s clearest strength. In 2025–26, 57.43% of students met standards in math, compared with 50.17% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. The school also performed above Washington averages in English language arts and science, although its ELA result of 55.78% was slightly below the district average, and its science result of 59.00% was below the district’s 61.81%. Compared with nearby schools, Vinland ranked behind Poulsbo Elementary School and Emerald Heights Elementary, the area’s top performers, but generally ahead of Richard Gordon Elementary, Hilder Pearson Elementary, Suquamish Elementary School, and David Wolfle Elementary in overall ranking.

The school’s overall performance has been stable, generally remaining between the 67th and 71st percentiles since 2020–21. Low-socioeconomic-status student outcomes have improved notably, while the latest Hispanic-student subgroup result declined and merits closer review over multiple years rather than being judged from one result alone. Fifth-grade ELA is another area to watch: 54.00% met standards, below the district’s 56.81%, even though fifth-grade math remained above the district. Overall, Vinland offers consistent, above-state achievement—especially in math—while its main opportunities are strengthening ELA, supporting fifth graders, and maintaining progress for student groups with weaker results.
