Summary

Pasco Senior High School is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 to approximately 2,590 students in the Pasco School District, which ranks in the bottom 13% of districts statewide.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in math (10.5%), English (42.3%), and science (32.6%) that are substantially lower than nearby comprehensive high schools like Kamiakin High School in the neighboring Kennewick School District. It serves a high-need population, with over 72% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and data shows it struggles to support specific student groups, ranking at the bottom for Special Education and Migrant student services. While its graduation rate is near 81%, the dropout rate has risen concerningly to 11.8%.

Despite these systemic challenges, there are some positive foundations; the school's overall ranking has stabilized slightly after years of decline, and it outperforms its district average in English. The performance of other local alternative schools, such as Endeavor High School, shows that different educational models can achieve success, suggesting there may be opportunities for Pasco Senior High to learn from practices in surrounding districts.
