Summary

Fuerza Elementary is a public elementary school serving about 630 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Kennewick School District, consistently ranking in the lower quarter of Washington state schools with proficiency rates in English, math, and science below both district and state averages.

Academic performance at Fuerza Elementary is significantly lower than at many nearby schools; for example, its math proficiency is 34%, compared to over 68% at Amon Creek Elementary and 62% at Sage Crest Elementary. This gap exists despite Fuerza's close geographic proximity to higher-performing schools like Ridge View Elementary. The school serves a high-need population, with about two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, a rate more than double that of the top-performing schools in the area.

While the school faces challenges, it shows relative strength with some student groups, and its per-student spending is lower than several comparable schools in the district, such as Vista Elementary. Comparisons with schools like Hawthorne Elementary, which has a similar student population but higher achievement, suggest that outcomes can vary significantly within the Kennewick School District. Fuerza's performance has remained consistently low for several years, indicating persistent systemic challenges.
