Burley Glenwood Elementary School

Tucked into the wooded, semi-rural stretches of Kitsap County, Burley Glenwood Elementary sits in a part of Washington where the pace of life is a little slower and neighbors still know each other's names. The school performs solidly across English, math, and science — landing right around the 63rd to 65th percentile statewide — making it a dependable choice for families who value consistency without the pressure-cooker environment of more competitive urban schools. It'll appeal especially to families drawn to the South Kitsap lifestyle: close enough to Tacoma and the ferry routes to Seattle, but rooted in a tight-knit, outdoorsy community where kids have room to breathe.
