Summary

Robert Frost Elementary is a public school in Pasco, Washington, serving approximately 459 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Pasco School District. The school serves a high-need community, with 89.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.5:1, and its 2025–26 statewide ranking was 1,039th of 1,138 schools, at the 9th percentile. That is still low, but it is an improvement from the 1st percentile in both 2022–23 and 2023–24.

Academic results remain below district and state averages, but recent progress is most visible in English language arts (ELA). In 2025–26, proficiency was 28.22% in ELA, 21.58% in math, and 19.05% in science, compared with district rates of 35.12%, 25.01%, and 31.93%. ELA increased from 14.86% two years earlier, while math improved more modestly and science remained uneven. Locally, Robert Frost was one of the stronger schools in ELA, near Mark Twain Elementary and behind James McGee Elementary. It was more middle-of-the-group in math and weaker in science compared with nearby schools such as Longfellow Elementary and Marie Curie STEM Elementary.

The clearest academic concern is fifth-grade math: proficiency fell from 32.00% in third grade to 11.90% in fifth grade, suggesting a need for stronger upper-elementary math support. Science is another priority. At the same time, the school’s English-language-learner effectiveness ranking rose to the 40th percentile statewide, a notable strength compared with its overall ranking. Robert Frost also performs better than several nearby schools serving similarly high-need populations, including Emerson Elementary, Rowena Chess Elementary, and Virgie Robinson Elementary. Overall, the school appears to be recovering, with promising ELA and subgroup gains that have not yet translated into consistently strong performance across subjects.
