Summary

Southridge High School is a public high school serving about 1,600 students in grades 9-12 within the Kennewick School District, which ranks in the middle of districts statewide.

The school presents a mixed picture: it has a strong and improving graduation rate of nearly 90%, but its academic performance has been declining over the past several years, now ranking below average for the state. This decline is most noticeable in math proficiency, which is lower than both district and state averages. The school faces significant challenges in serving all students equitably, with performance for English Language Learners and students from low-income families lagging far behind. Interestingly, Phoenix High School, an alternative school on the same campus, achieves a higher ranking despite serving a student population with greater economic need.

A striking comparison is with nearby Kamiakin High School in the same district, which consistently achieves much higher academic rankings and proficiency rates. Southridge spends more per student than Kamiakin but serves a student population with a significantly higher rate of economic disadvantage. While Southridge's graduation success is a clear strength, the gap with schools like Kamiakin High School and the recent downward trend in academics are important factors for families to consider.
