Summary

Burley Glenwood Elementary is a public PK-5 school serving about 450 students in Port Orchard, WA, as part of the South Kitsap School District, and it stands out for providing a consistently solid and efficient education for its community.

Academically, the school performs above state averages, with particular strength in science where it outpaces both the district and state. It shows effective support for its student population, achieving good results even with a moderate level of economic need and the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby South Kitsap schools like Orchard Heights Elementary and East Port Orchard Elementary. While it doesn't reach the top tier of district performers such as Mullenix Ridge Elementary School, it has shown steady improvement over the past decade and offers more year-to-year consistency than some peers.

Compared to schools in the higher-ranked Peninsula School District, such as Swift Water Elementary, Burley Glenwood operates with significantly lower spending per student while delivering competitive outcomes. A notable area for attention is a district-wide pattern of lower 5th-grade math scores. Overall, Burley Glenwood represents a stable, mid-performing school that makes efficient use of its resources to support its students.
