Summary

New Horizons High School is a small public school in Pasco, Washington, serving 344 students in grades 6–12 within the Pasco School District. Its broader grade span and nontraditional setting make comparisons with large comprehensive high schools imperfect, but the available data point to significant challenges in student persistence, graduation, and academic achievement. The school ranked 396th out of 396 Washington schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 0th percentile.

The most serious concern is completion: New Horizons reported a 30.0% graduation rate and a 24.4% dropout rate in 2024–2025. These results were much weaker than the Pasco Senior High School graduation rate of 80.8% and dropout rate of 11.8%, and the Chiawana Senior High School graduation rate of 92.8% and dropout rate of 3.7%. New Horizons also trailed Kamiakin High School and Kennewick High School. In 2025–2026, only 15.79% of students met English language arts standards and 12% met science standards. The state suppressed the school’s math result, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.

New Horizons serves a higher-need population than most nearby traditional high schools, with 81.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. It is also much smaller and has a lower student-teacher ratio—15.8 compared with more than 20 at Chiawana and Pasco Senior—while spending $18,089 per student in 2023–2024. Those resources could support intensive attendance monitoring, credit recovery, advising, and mentoring. The sharp decline in ELA proficiency from 45.45% in 2024–2025 to 15.79% in 2025–2026 also deserves investigation, including review of participation, student mobility, and the tested cohort.
