Summary

East Port Orchard Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 423 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in the South Kitsap School District in Port Orchard, and it has shown significant recent improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating this year.

The school serves a community with high economic need, with two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than many nearby schools like Mullenix Ridge Elementary or South Colby Elementary. While its overall test scores in English and Science are below the district average, its math scores are close to the state average, and it shows a notable strength in effectively educating students from low-income families, ranking in the 62nd percentile for that group. However, the school faces challenges, including a large performance gap between male and female students and lower scores for students in special education.

Compared to other schools, East Port Orchard spends more per student than some better-performing peers, which may reflect the resources needed to support its student population. Its performance is more volatile year-to-year than stable schools like Manchester Elementary, but the current positive trajectory with rising test scores is encouraging. When looking at the broader Bremerton School District, East Port Orchard outperforms several schools with similar challenges, such as West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy.
