Summary

Fuerza Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 629 students in Kennewick, Washington, within the Kennewick School District’s competitive elementary-school area. Its 16.5 student-teacher ratio is relatively high locally, and 66.77% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school ranks at the 24th percentile among Washington elementary schools, placing it below the statewide midpoint and below most nearby comparison schools.

Academic performance is below both district and state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–26, proficiency was 40.14% in ELA, 30.72% in math, and 26.04% in science. Science is the largest concern, trailing the district by 17.92 percentage points and the state by 24.91 points. Fuerza also ranked below nearby schools including Ridge View Elementary School, Amon Creek Elementary, Sage Crest Elementary, and Lincoln Elementary School. Compared with Ridge View, Fuerza’s proficiency was lower by 31.23 points in ELA, 36.58 points in math, and 45.70 points in science. It did, however, outperform Edison Elementary School in all three subjects.

The most urgent grade-level result is fifth-grade math, where proficiency was 14.43%, compared with 40.12% districtwide and 43.32% statewide. Math has declined overall from 36.43% in 2022–23 to 30.72% in 2025–26, while science fell sharply from 44.68% to 26.04% in the latest year; ELA has remained relatively stable near 40%. Subgroup results are uneven, with relatively stronger rankings for White students and students receiving special education services, while low-income students and English Language Learners remain lower statewide. The data point to priorities in fifth-grade math, science instruction, upper-grade support, and staffing or intervention capacity.
