Summary:

Pasco School District includes 25 schools serving students from elementary through high school in Pasco, Washington: 18 elementary schools, four middle schools, and three high schools. Approximately 18,485 students attend the district, which ranks 200th of 238 Washington districts. Overall results are below state averages, with 35.12% of students proficient in ELA, 25.01% in Math, and 31.93% in Science during 2025–2026. Math is the district’s most persistent academic weakness, although performance varies substantially from school to school.

Parents seeking the strongest current academic results may want to compare Edwin Markham Elementary and Ruth Livingston Elementary. Both exceeded 60% proficiency in ELA and Math, and Ruth Livingston led the listed elementary schools in Science with 79.07%. Columbia River Elementary also stands out for strong improvement, rising to the 44th statewide percentile. Among middle schools, Ray Reynolds Middle School led in ELA, Math, and Science, while Stevens Middle School and Ellen Ochoa Middle School had the greatest academic needs.

At the high school level, Chiawana Senior High School had the strongest overall profile, with a 92.8% graduation rate, a 3.7% dropout rate, and much higher ELA and Science results than Pasco Senior High School. Chiawana’s Math performance nevertheless remains a concern. New Horizons High School serves a distinct student population and reports much lower graduation and higher dropout rates, so comparisons should be made cautiously. Families should also note that some results are suppressed or unavailable, and smaller schools may show greater year-to-year swings. Overall, the district offers clear examples of high performance alongside schools needing intensive support, making school-by-school comparison especially important.
