Summary

John Sedgwick Middle School is a consistently high-performing public school serving 731 students in grades 6-8 within the South Kitsap School District in Port Orchard, ranking in the 79th percentile among all Washington middle schools.

Academically, the school outperforms both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science, and it stands out for its exceptional effectiveness with Hispanic students, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide for that subgroup. It also achieves strong results for students from low-income families while operating with moderate per-student spending, making it a cost-effective school compared to peers like Marcus Whitman Middle School in the same district, which spends more for significantly lower results.

While John Sedgwick is a regional standout, it shows a concerning decline in performance for students in special education programs, and its results for military-connected students have been volatile. The school's success, particularly when compared to other local schools like Sylvester Middle School and Cascade Middle School, demonstrates that it delivers commendable outcomes for its diverse student population.
