Summary

Amon Creek Elementary is a consistently high-performing public school serving about 600 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Kennewick School District in Richland, WA.

The school stands out for its strong and steady academic results, consistently ranking in the top 15-20% of all Washington elementary schools. Its test scores in English, math, and science are significantly higher than both the district and state averages. Notably, Amon Creek achieves these excellent outcomes while spending less per student than many neighboring schools like Lincoln Elementary or Vista Elementary. The school has shown remarkable resilience, maintaining its high performance even through the pandemic years.

What truly differentiates Amon Creek is its exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups; it ranks in the top 5% of schools statewide for its Hispanic students and in the top 11% for students from low-income families. This success is particularly striking when compared to other schools in the same district just miles away, such as Edison Elementary or Fuerza Elementary, which face much greater challenges. Amon Creek's performance is competitive with top schools in the neighboring Richland School District, like Orchard Elementary. While a relative strength, support for special education students is an area the school can continue to improve.
