Summary:

The Pasco School District serves around 17,000 students across 27 public schools, from elementary through high school, in a community with significant economic need.

Academic performance varies dramatically between schools, with Ruth Livingston Elementary standing out as a top performer that exceeds state averages, while other elementary schools like Captain Gray STEM Elementary and Rowena Chess Elementary rank at the very bottom statewide; middle schools, particularly Ellen Ochoa Middle School, are a major area of concern as all rank in the bottom half of the state.

Notably, Chiawana Senior High School achieves a graduation rate well above the state average, and the quality of online programs differs greatly, with Internet Pasco Academy of Learning showing much stronger results than Pasco Innovative Experiences and e-Learning.
