Summary:
Suquamish, Washington is home to a single elementary school, Suquamish Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the North Kitsap School District and has a diverse student population, with a significant proportion of minority and economically disadvantaged students.
While Suquamish Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has declined relative to district and state averages over the past two school years, the school's 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate in 2022-2023 was significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science remain below the North Kitsap School District and Washington state averages across all grade levels. This is reflected in the school's decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, which may indicate a need for improvement in the school's educational programs and resources.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to district and state averages, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may face challenges in addressing the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. By closely examining the school's performance metrics, demographics, and resource allocation, the district and school leaders can identify targeted strategies to improve academic outcomes and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students at Suquamish Elementary School.
