Summary

Sunnyslope Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Port Orchard, Washington, serving 503 students in the South Kitsap School District. With a 15:1 student-teacher ratio, it is one of the larger elementary schools in the local comparison area. Sunnyslope ranks in the 70th percentile statewide and holds a four-star rating, making it the highest-ranked of the nearby South Kitsap schools reviewed. Its statewide standing has improved from the 59th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 70th percentile in 2025–2026, although it remains below its 77th-percentile result in 2021–2022.

Academically, Sunnyslope’s clearest strengths are English language arts and math. In 2025–2026, 60.16% of students were proficient in ELA and 56.18% in math, exceeding both district and state rates. The school also led nearby Sidney Glen Elementary School, Orchard Heights Elementary School, East Port Orchard Elementary School, and Hidden Creek Elementary School in both subjects. Math is especially strong in third and fourth grades, with proficiency of 69.32% and 60.40%, respectively. Sunnyslope also compares favorably with John D. Bud Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park and Kitsap Lake Elementary in ELA and math.

Families should look beyond the schoolwide averages, however. Fifth-grade math proficiency was 30.65%, far below the school’s third- and fourth-grade results and below district and state fifth-grade rates. Science is another area to watch: proficiency fell to 50.00% in 2025–2026 after reaching 68.04% two years earlier, and Sunnyslope trailed several nearby schools in that subject. The school’s low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranked in the 86th percentile statewide, while its special education subgroup ranked in the 76th percentile, though subgroup results can vary considerably from year to year. Overall, Sunnyslope appears to offer strong and improving literacy and math outcomes, with fifth-grade math and science representing the most important areas for continued attention.
