Summary

Amon Creek Elementary serves 594 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade near the boundary between Richland and Kennewick. The supplied profile places the school in the Kennewick School District, although its address is in Richland. Amon Creek is one of the area’s strongest-performing elementary schools, ranking 121st out of 1,138 Washington schools in 2025–26, or at the 89th percentile, and receiving a recent four-star rating.

Academic results are well above both district and state averages. Amon Creek’s proficiency rates were 70.93% in English language arts, 70.00% in math, and 74.00% in science, compared with 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95% statewide. Math is the clearest strength, especially in third grade, where 75.82% of students were proficient. Results declined to 65.35% by fifth grade, making upper-grade math an area worth watching. Amon Creek is highly competitive with nearby Cottonwood Elementary, Ridge View Elementary School, and Orchard Elementary. It had the highest math result among those schools, while Cottonwood led in science.

The school’s results have remained strong over several years, rather than reflecting only one unusually successful year. Its science score also rebounded to 74.00% after falling to 60.53% the prior year. Reported subgroup effectiveness was especially strong for Hispanic students and students from low-socioeconomic-status households, while special education performance, at the 69th percentile, remains the main area for continued improvement. Amon Creek has a 15.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and 22.05% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Overall, it combines strong achievement, broad subgroup performance, and moderate spending compared with nearby schools.
