Wilkes Elementary
Wilkes Elementary School is located in a rural/suburban setting on Bainbridge Island. Serving students in kindergarten through 4th grade, the school is set on 10 acres in the northern section of the Island.

Wilkes provides a broad-based curriculum effectively enhanced by teacher-specialists in physical education (PE), art, music, library, special education, speech and language, and reading (Title I). There is a full-time counselor, and a psychologist assigned to the building part-time. A team approach supports special needs students with both in-classroom and pullout assistance, depending on the needs of the student. Students identified as highly capable (grade 3) participate in differentiated learning activities in 4th grade.
