Summary

Park Middle School is a public school in Kennewick, Washington, serving grades 6–8 and 688 students in the Kennewick School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community: 85.17% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Park’s latest statewide ranking was 369th of 514 Washington middle schools, placing it in the 28th percentile with a 1-star rating. Although that remains below the statewide midpoint, the school has improved steadily from the 6th percentile in 2020–2021.

Academic results show improvement but also clear priorities. In 2025–2026, Park’s proficiency rates were 41.47% in English language arts, 25.34% in math, and 26.20% in science. ELA is the school’s strongest area and has risen more than 10 points since 2022–2023. Science increased sharply in the latest year, but its results have been uneven and remain the school’s largest gap compared with Washington and the district. Math is particularly concerning in 7th grade, where proficiency was 19.35%, compared with 34.10% in 6th grade and 22.75% in 8th grade. Park’s 8th-grade ELA result was its strongest grade-level performance at 46.32%.

Compared with nearby schools, Park falls well behind Desert Hills Middle School and Chinook Middle School, but it performs better overall than Highlands Middle School and is close to Horse Heaven Hills Middle School in math. Park’s 17.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio is favorable locally, and its subgroup results are especially strong for migrant and homeless students. Overall, the school appears to be making measurable progress, with the most important next steps being stronger 7th-grade math, improved science instruction, and continued ELA growth.
