Brinnon Elementary

Summary:

Brinnon Elementary is a small public school serving grades K-8 in the rural town of Brinnon, Washington, with a student population of just 74 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite serving a predominantly low-income student population, with 89.19% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Brinnon Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency.

In 2023-2024, Brinnon Elementary's ELA proficiency rate was 53.85% compared to the state's 52.63%, and its Math proficiency rate was 51.92% compared to the state's 41.68%. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th grade ELA, where 73.33% of students were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state's 48.09%. Brinnon Elementary also excels in Science, with a 57.14% proficiency rate in 2023-2024, compared to the state's 49.73%. This high academic achievement is even more impressive given that the school spends significantly more per student ($22,289 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby North Kitsap School District, Central Kitsap School District, and Quilcene School District, which range from $16,469 to $19,449 per student.

Brinnon Elementary's consistent academic performance, even with a high-needs student population, is particularly noteworthy when compared to the larger, more urban schools in the surrounding districts, such as Hilder Pearson Elementary, Vinland Elementary, and John D. Bud Hawk Elementary at Jackson Park. This suggests that Brinnon Elementary has effective instructional practices and support systems in place to ensure student learning, making it a standout example of how a well-resourced and well-supported school can overcome the challenges of serving a high-needs student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
