Bainbridge Island is blessed with a great public school system as well as a small number of excellent private and parochial schools.

The Bainbridge Island School District includes all public schools on Bainbridge from K through 12.  Island school students consistently score high in the WASL, the state assessment tests designed to measure student skill levels.

Island elementary schools run from grades K thru 4. The elementary schools are Blakely, Ordway and Wilkes plus  the grade 1 thru 8 of Commodore Options Schools’ Odyssey multiage program.

Sonoji Sakai Intermediate School serves Island students in grades 5 and6. Sakai is nationally recognized for its green design which includes solar panels and a restored salmon stream.

Woodward Middle School is located next door to Sakai and serves the 7th and 8th grade students of the Island. Both schools are a short walk from Bainbridge High School and are centrally located on the outskirts of the Winslow urban core.
