Summary

Belfair Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 390 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the North Mason School District, a community facing significant economic challenges.

The school operates in a difficult context, with well over half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but it demonstrates several important strengths. It consistently outperforms its closest district peer, Sand Hill Elementary, in all subjects, and shows particular effectiveness in supporting English Language Learners and military-connected students. Science is a relative bright spot, with scores nearing the state average. The school also spends more per student and has smaller class sizes than many nearby schools. However, a significant and persistent performance gap exists between female and male students that the school will need to address.

When compared to higher-performing elementary schools in neighboring districts like Purdy Elementary School (in the Peninsula School District) or Sunnyslope Elementary School (in the South Kitsap School District), Belfair's overall academic results are lower, which highlights how district resources and community socioeconomic factors can create substantial disparities even within a small geographic area.
