Summary

Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 543 students in the Pasco School District, standing out as a steadily improving school within a district that faces broader academic challenges.

The school is on a positive trajectory, with its state ranking climbing significantly over the past few years to the 46th percentile, and it consistently outperforms the district average in all core subjects. A particular area of strength is science, where student proficiency not only beats the district by a wide margin but also exceeds the Washington state average—a notable achievement that highlights the impact of its STEM focus. The school also shows effective support for various student groups, including English Language Learners, and achieves these results while spending less per student than several nearby schools with lower performance, such as Rowena Chess Elementary and James McGee Elementary.

When compared to other schools in Pasco, Rosalind Franklin occupies a solid middle ground. It is not the highest performer—that distinction belongs to the exceptional Ruth Livingston Elementary—but it demonstrates much greater consistency and better outcomes than many struggling district peers like Robert Frost Elementary. For families, the school represents a stable and improving option that delivers reliable academic results, especially in science, and offers good value relative to the resources it uses.
