Summary

Barbara McClintock STEM Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving about 570 students in the Pasco School District, a district that faces significant academic challenges across its schools.

Within its district, Barbara McClintock performs in the middle of the pack, with test scores in English, math, and science that are higher than the district average but still below state averages. The school shows some notable strengths, such as its 4th grade English scores and its performance with male students, but it faces serious challenges in supporting English Language Learners and Special Education students. An interesting point is that the school achieves these mid-tier results while spending less per student than many other elementary schools in Pasco. Performance has been volatile year-to-year, and despite its STEM focus, science scores are a particular area for improvement.

A striking comparison is with the nearby Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary, located less than a mile away, which outperforms Barbara McClintock in every core subject, especially science. This gap exists despite both schools having a STEM designation. The school also differs greatly from others within the district, such as the high-performing Ruth Livingston Elementary and the much lower-performing Rowena Chess Elementary, highlighting wide disparities across Pasco.
