Esquire Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Bremerton, Washington, serving 273 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Central Kitsap School District, which is ranked 75 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
While Esquire Hills has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of Hispanic and Pacific Islander students, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 47.33%, compared to 57.74% for the district and 52.63% for the state. The school's academic performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White and military-connected students ranking in the bottom quartile of Washington elementary schools, while its multi-racial students performed in the top quartile.
Esquire Hills' academic challenges are further highlighted by its declining performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 495 out of 1,097 Washington elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 700 out of 1,168 in 2023-2024. The school's performance also lags behind many of the nearby schools, such as Emerald Heights Elementary and Brownsville Elementary, which consistently outperform the district and state averages in both ELA and Math. While Esquire Hills has a relatively high per-student spending, this additional funding does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the school's unique challenges.
