Silverdale, Washington (zip code 98383) is served by ten public schools in the Central Kitsap School District, including six elementary, two middle, and two high schools, providing education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a district that consistently performs above state averages.
Among these schools, Emerald Heights Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide with exceptionally high test scores in both English and math. At the secondary level, Central Kitsap High School leads with a strong graduation rate and high proficiency in English, while the uniquely configured Klahowya Secondary (grades 6-12) maintains a very low dropout rate. In contrast, Clear Creek Elementary has the lowest ranking among the elementary schools despite having the most resources per student, showing that funding alone does not guarantee the highest academic outcomes.
The district shows a particular strength in English Language Arts instruction across all grade levels, though math performance is more variable between schools. Most schools have stable performance records, and the district as a whole outperforms Washington state averages in graduation rates, dropout rates, and proficiency in core subjects, indicating a generally strong educational environment for families in the Silverdale area.
