Mullenix Ridge Elementary School

Tucked into the rolling, wooded neighborhoods of Port Orchard on the Kitsap Peninsula, Mullenix Ridge is a consistently strong performer that punches well above average across English, math, and science — a real standout in a district that serves a wide range of communities. Families who've made the move across the Sound from Seattle often settle in this part of Kitsap for the breathing room and lower cost of living, and Mullenix Ridge gives them a school they don't have to compromise on. It's a solid fit for families who want a grounded, community-feel school without sacrificing academic expectations.
