Summary

James McGee Elementary is a public PK–5 school serving 499 students at 4601 N Horizon Drive in Pasco, Washington, within the Pasco School District and about 1.3 to 3 miles from the comparison schools reviewed. The school ranks 691st of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 39th percentile with a two-star rating. Its district ranks in the 16th statewide percentile, so McGee’s results are stronger than the district’s overall position.

The most encouraging development is recent improvement: McGee rose from 893rd place and the 23rd percentile in 2024–25 to 691st place and the 39th percentile in 2025–26. Its test results are above the district average in English language arts, math, and science. ELA proficiency is 45.77%, math is 40.77%, and science is 34.67%; the largest advantage is in math, where McGee exceeds the district by 15.76 percentage points. Among the 11 nearby schools, McGee ranks third overall, behind Ruth Livingston Elementary and Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary. It ranks second locally in ELA and fourth in math, performing above nine nearby schools in ELA and seven in math.

Families should also note areas needing attention. Fifth-grade results are much weaker than third- and fourth-grade outcomes, especially in math, where proficiency is 20.00%; science is another opportunity, with little year-over-year improvement. In contrast, math achievement rose 8.90 points in the latest year, and McGee’s English learner subgroup ranks in the 76th statewide percentile, a standout strength. The school serves a moderately high-need population, with 56.31% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, a 15.4 student-teacher ratio, and reported spending of $18,564 per student. Overall, McGee appears to be a promising local option with strong momentum, solid results compared with most nearby schools, and room to improve fifth-grade and science performance.

I attended James Mcgee when I was in elementary school, my daughter now attends there. A few of my teachers are still around, it is a great school. There are many amazing teachers that definitely are teaching because they do it for the love of it. I am happy to know that my daughters education and wellbeing come first. Close Quote
