Summary

Hidden Creek Elementary is a public PK-5 school serving 439 students in Port Orchard, Washington, within the generally well-regarded South Kitsap School District.

Academic performance at Hidden Creek has declined significantly over the past several years, now ranking in the lower half of Washington elementary schools. Test scores in English, math, and science are below the district average, with 5th-grade math proficiency being a particular area of concern. This trend stands out because other schools in the same district, like Mullenix Ridge Elementary and Olalla Elementary, perform much higher. The school's per-student spending is substantial, but it has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby South Kitsap schools.

The school's results vary widely for different groups of students. For instance, military-connected students and students receiving special education services have shown very low performance rankings in recent years. In contrast, the school has been more successful with its Hispanic students, who perform above the state average. Compared to a geographically close school like Sidney Glen Elementary, Hidden Creek performs worse despite similar demographics, while it performs better than nearby East Port Orchard Elementary, which serves a community with greater economic need.
