Summary:
ZIP code 98311 includes six schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade: five elementary schools and one high school. All are part of the Central Kitsap School District, which ranks 59th among 238 Washington districts and serves about 3,023 students in this area. There are no middle or alternative schools listed. The schools vary considerably in performance, with strong options alongside campuses showing more mixed or developing results.
Olympic High School is the clearest overall standout. Its statewide ranking rose from the 45th percentile to the 79th percentile over three years, while its 92.2% graduation rate exceeded both the district and state. Its ELA and science results were strong, although math proficiency at 35.47% was a notable weakness. Among elementary schools, Brownsville Elementary ranked highest, with particularly strong ELA and science results and the best overall academic profile. It also had the lowest free/reduced-price lunch participation and a relatively low spending level. Cottonwood Elementary School had the strongest recent momentum, improving 18 percentile points over three years and recording the highest elementary math score.
Esquire Hills Elementary also improved substantially and showed strong math performance, particularly in third grade, while having the lowest student-teacher ratio and highest per-student spending among the elementary schools. Pinecrest Elementary improved its ranking and math results but remained below district averages, especially in ELA. Woodlands Elementary requires the closest monitoring: it had the lowest ranking, weakest elementary ELA results, and a sharp year-over-year science decline. Across the elementary schools, math was the strongest subject relative to district and state averages, while ELA performance varied most widely.
