Better than 22% of Washington elementary schools

Summary

Washington Elementary School is a public K-5 school serving about 405 students in a residential area of Kennewick, part of the Kennewick School District.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores in English, math, and science consistently below state averages, and its statewide ranking has fallen over the past decade to the 22nd percentile. Interestingly, this occurs despite the school spending more per student than other nearby schools in the district. When compared to neighbors, the picture is mixed: it performs better than some very low-ranking schools like Amistad Elementary School and Eastgate Elementary School, but lags behind others like Hawthorne Elementary School and the higher-performing Lincoln Elementary School.

There are some signs of recent stabilization in its ranking, and the school shows relative strength in supporting English Language Learners. However, performance varies notably by grade, with fifth-grade math and overall science being particular areas of concern. The concentration of several lower-performing schools in its immediate area suggests broader neighborhood factors may be at play, and the disconnect between high per-student spending and academic results points to complex challenges beyond funding alone.
