Summary

Virgie Robinson Elementary is a PK–5 school with 473 students in Pasco, Washington, located on S. Wehe Avenue in an area surrounded mainly by other Pasco elementary schools, with nearby schools in the Kennewick area as well.

The school serves a high-need community, with 89.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Its overall performance remains below the Pasco School District and Washington averages, but its local position is more encouraging. In 2025–2026, Virgie Robinson ranked in the 9th statewide percentile, tied with Robert Frost Elementary and ahead of Longfellow Elementary and several other nearby schools. Its proficiency rates were 23.44% in ELA, 22.49% in math, and 18.33% in science. Locally, it had the second-highest ELA result and second-highest math result among the traditional Pasco schools highlighted. Math is a relative strength, especially compared with Captain Gray STEM Elementary, Emerson Elementary, and Rowena Chess Elementary.

The clearest positive trend is sustained improvement: the school rose from the 1st statewide percentile for several years to the 9th percentile in 2025–2026, while math proficiency improved each year from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026. Fourth grade is the strongest grade, with math performance slightly above the district average. Important challenges remain, particularly 3rd-grade ELA and 5th-grade math and science. The 16.6 student-teacher ratio is higher than at most nearby Pasco schools, including Marie Curie STEM Elementary and Longfellow Elementary, which may be relevant when considering available classroom support. Overall, Virgie Robinson shows meaningful progress and comparatively strong local results, but its next priorities are strengthening science, supporting weaker grade levels, and maintaining its upward math trend.
