Summary

Chiawana Senior High School is a large public school in Pasco, Washington, serving grades 8–12 and 3,127 students in the Pasco School District, an area with a relatively high level of student economic need.

For parents, Chiawana’s strongest results are student persistence and completion: its 2024–25 graduation rate was 92.8%, while its dropout rate was 3.7%, both better than the district and Washington state. The school’s academic results are more mixed. In 2025–26, proficiency was 52.25% in English language arts, 21.89% in math, and 40.05% in science. ELA was nearly equal to the state level and well above the district’s 35.12%, while math was less than half the statewide rate of 43.11%. Math remains the clearest instructional priority, even though it improved from 15.8% the prior year. The school’s overall ranking also improved, moving from the 16th to the 32nd percentile.

Compared with nearby Kamiakin High School, Chiawana had slightly stronger graduation and dropout outcomes but lower proficiency in all three subjects. Chiawana also serves more students and has a higher free- or reduced-price lunch rate, providing important context for the comparison. Its results were much stronger than those of smaller alternative schools such as New Horizons High School, Rivers Edge High School, and Legacy High School, though those schools serve different populations and missions. English learners remain a significant area of concern, ranking at the 8th percentile statewide, while several other student-group results improved substantially. Overall, Chiawana stands out for helping students stay enrolled and graduate, with continued work needed in math, science, and English learner support.
