Summary

Hidden Creek Elementary School is a public school serving 439 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Port Orchard, within the generally strong South Kitsap School District and about 1.7 miles from Sidney Glen Elementary School. The school has a 15:1 student-teacher ratio, and 48.06% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

Academically, Hidden Creek is performing below most nearby South Kitsap schools. In 2025–2026, 46.95% of students were proficient in English language arts, 41.78% in math, and 38.89% in science. Science is the clearest concern: the result was 13.96 percentage points below the district and about 21.9 points below the average for the nearby South Kitsak schools compared. Fifth-grade math is another major weakness, with 28.77% proficiency compared with 46.91% districtwide. By comparison, Mullenix Ridge Elementary School posted 71.04% in math and 80.56% in science, while Olalla Elementary School posted 63.16% and 70.83%, respectively. Hidden Creek does compare favorably with nearby West Hills S.T.E.M. Academy and Naval Avenue Elementary School in English and math.

There are some encouraging signs. Math proficiency rebounded from 32.76% to 41.78% in the latest year, and the school’s statewide ranking improved to 666th of 1,138 schools, or the 41st percentile, up from the 33rd percentile the previous year. However, science has declined from 58.93% two years earlier, and the school remains well below its 2018–2019 standing in the 77th percentile. Results also vary among student groups: the low-income subgroup ranked at the 80th percentile, while male students ranked at the 34th percentile and military-connected students at the 16th percentile. Parents may want to ask about plans for fifth-grade math, science instruction, and supports for students who are not yet meeting standards.
