Summary

Barbara McClintock STEM Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 570 students in Pasco, WA, about half a mile from Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary and within roughly four miles of several nearby comparison schools. The school is part of the Pasco School District, which ranks in the 16th statewide percentile, while Barbara McClintock ranks in the 34th percentile among Washington elementary schools. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, and 53.86% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch.

Barbara McClintock is performing above the district average in every reported subject, though it remains below the Washington average. In 2025–26, 42.01% of students were proficient in English language arts, 38.29% in math, and 44.19% in science. Math is the school’s largest advantage over the district, exceeding the district rate by 13.28 percentage points. Results have improved since 2022–23, especially in math, which rose from 23.77% to 38.29%; ELA also increased from 32.60% to 42.01%. Science rebounded strongly after a weaker year. The school’s statewide ranking improved from the low teens in earlier years to 34th percentile most recently, suggesting a meaningful upward trend.

Compared with nearby schools, Barbara McClintock is a solid middle-to-upper performer. It trails standout Ruth Livingston Elementary by a wide margin, but exceeds Rowena Chess Elementary, Emerson Elementary, Mark Twain Elementary, and Robert Frost Elementary in all three subjects. Its results are close to Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary, although Rosalind Franklin leads modestly in each area. The main academic concern is upper-grade math: proficiency falls from 46.91% in third grade to 30.23% in fifth grade. Overall, the school combines improving achievement, relatively favorable staffing, and stronger-than-district results, with continued progress depending especially on sustaining math gains through fifth grade.
