Summary

Southridge High School is a public, comprehensive grades 9–12 school in Kennewick, Washington, serving approximately 1,612 students in the Kennewick School District in the Tri-Cities area. It is a mid-sized-to-large neighborhood high school with a current statewide ranking of 183rd out of 396 Washington high schools, placing it around the 54th percentile and earning three stars. That is a substantial improvement from the 36th percentile the previous year, although it remains below the school’s stronger results in the mid-2010s.

The school’s academic profile is uneven but includes clear strengths. In 2025–2026, 61.9% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, well above the district’s 49.42% and the state’s 52.81%. Southridge also exceeded nearby Kennewick High School and Chiawana Senior High School in ELA, though it trailed Kamiakin High School. Math is the main concern: only 27.46% of students were proficient, compared with 36.83% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Southridge outperformed Kennewick and Chiawana in math but remained behind Kamiakin. Science was more balanced, with 47.06% proficiency—above the district average but below the state.

Graduation and persistence are notable positives. Southridge’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89.8%, above both the district’s 82.0% and the state’s 82.6%; its 5.2% dropout rate was also below district and state rates. Kamiakin and Chiawana posted somewhat higher graduation rates, while Kennewick’s was lower. The school serves a relatively diverse range of student needs and has a student-teacher ratio of 24.8, similar to nearby comprehensive schools. Subgroup effectiveness varies, with comparatively weaker results reported for low-socioeconomic-status, migrant, Hispanic, and English-language-learner students. Overall, Southridge appears to have effective systems supporting literacy and graduation, while math achievement and more consistent outcomes across student groups are the clearest priorities for improvement.
