Summary

East Port Orchard Elementary School in Port Orchard, WA, serves 423 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade and is part of the South Kitsap School District, an area district ranked in the 68th percentile statewide. The school currently ranks 623rd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 45th percentile with a two-star rating. That marks a substantial recovery from 2023–2024, when it ranked in the 23rd percentile, although it still trails most nearby South Kitsap schools.

The clearest academic priority is English Language Arts: 46.00% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 54.65% in the district and 52.81% statewide. East Port Orchard’s math result, 43.00%, was nearly identical to state and district results, while science reached 52.46%, slightly above the state rate. Results have improved since 2022–2023, especially in ELA and science. However, math declines by grade, from 47.83% in third grade to 37.70% in fifth grade. Among nearby schools, East Port Orchard’s ELA performance was lower than Manchester Elementary School, South Colby Elementary School, Mullenix Ridge Elementary School, Sidney Glen Elementary School, and Orchard Heights Elementary School, but it was ahead of Hidden Creek Elementary School in math and science.

Context is important: 66.67% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest share among the nearby South Kitsap schools, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.1. Despite this higher level of reported economic need, the school’s low-SES subgroup effectiveness ranking is relatively strong at the 66th percentile. Several other subgroups also improved, including special education students, whose ranking rose from the 2nd to the 36th percentile. Compared with nearby Bremerton schools, East Port Orchard outperformed West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy and Naval Avenue Elementary School in all three tested subjects and was close to Crownhill Elementary School. Overall, the school shows meaningful momentum, with literacy and upper-grade math remaining the main areas for improvement.
