Summary:
ZIP code 98367 in Port Orchard, Washington is home to four public elementary schools — Mullenix Ridge Elementary School, Sunnyslope Elementary School, Burley Glenwood Elementary School, and Hidden Creek Elementary School — all serving grades PK–5 and all part of South Kitsap School District. Together they enroll 1,766 students, with individual school sizes ranging from 372 to 503. Because they share one district, the differences between them come down to what happens in each school building rather than district-wide policy.
Mullenix Ridge is the academic standout, ranking in the 82nd percentile with 4 stars and holding that rating for three straight years. It posts the group's highest math (71.04%) and science (80.56%) proficiency, leading both its district and the state by more than 27 points in each. Sunnyslope has improved the most, climbing 142 ranking positions over three years to reach the 70th percentile and 4 stars, with the ZIP's strongest all-grades ELA score (60.16%) — but just 30.65% of its 5th graders met the math standard. Burley Glenwood is a steady 3-star school that beats district and state in science (60%) while spending the least per student. Hidden Creek trails the group in every subject — ELA 46.95%, math 41.78%, science 38.89% — and is the only school rated 2 stars, below its own district.
The widest gap between schools is in science, where proficiency spans 41.67 points, compared with 13.21 points in ELA. Fifth grade math is the shared weak spot: three of the four schools show steep drops from 3rd to 5th grade, while Mullenix Ridge's 5th graders reach 73.61%. Free/reduced-lunch rates range from 38.71% at Mullenix Ridge to 48.06% at Hidden Creek, and higher per-student spending does not reliably predict higher achievement here.
