The school's diverse student population includes 42.77% White, 15.9% Hispanic, 20.81% Native American, and 19.08% two or more races.

Academically, Hood Canal Elementary School lags behind state averages in English Language Arts (36.36% vs. 52.63%), Math (23.53% vs. 41.68%), and Science (39.62% vs. 49.73%) proficiency on state assessments. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Washington elementary schools, despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student ($24,253) and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1.

The high percentage (81.5%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Hood Canal Elementary School indicates significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school community. While the additional resources and smaller class sizes may contribute to more individualized attention, the persistent academic underperformance and equity gaps suggest the need for a deeper examination of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to better address the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
