Summary

New Horizons High School is a small public school serving 344 students in grades 6-12 within the Pasco School District, a district that faces significant challenges across all its schools.

The school serves a high-need population and functions as an alternative program, which is reflected in its very low graduation rate (30%) and high dropout rate (24.4%), both significantly lower than the district and state averages. However, it's important to note the school is on an upward trajectory, with its graduation rate and state ranking improving over recent years. Interestingly, despite overall challenges, the school's English Language Arts proficiency (45.45%) is actually higher than both Chiawana Senior High School and Pasco Senior High School in the same district, suggesting a particular strength in literacy instruction.

New Horizons operates with more resources than neighboring schools, including a lower student-teacher ratio (15.8 to 1) and higher per-student spending ($18,089), indicating the intensive support its students require. When compared to a high-performing school like Kamiakin High School in the neighboring Kennewick School District, it highlights a complex relationship between funding, class size, and student outcomes, as Kamiakin outperforms with less funding per student. This comparison underscores that factors beyond just resources are at play in student success.
