Summary

Captain Gray STEM Elementary is a PK–5 school in Pasco, Washington, serving 408 students in an area with substantial economic need. Located at 1102 N 10th Ave, it is less than a mile from Longfellow Elementary and close to several other Pasco elementary schools. About 92.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school’s 14.4-to-1 student–teacher ratio is relatively favorable locally, and its $19,292 per-student spending is higher than at many nearby schools. Still, Pasco School District ranks near the bottom statewide, at approximately the 16th percentile.

Academic performance remains a significant concern. In 2025–26, 12.15% of students were proficient in English language arts, 13.62% in math, and 18.42% in science—below both district and Washington results. Captain Gray STEM Elementary generally ranked near the bottom among nearby schools, though it performed better than Rowena Chess Elementary in all three subjects and was close to Marie Curie STEM Elementary in ELA and math. Fourth grade was the clearest weakness: just 4.76% reached proficiency in ELA and 6.45% in math. These results were well below fourth-grade performance at Longfellow, Robert Frost Elementary, and Mark Twain Elementary.

There are signs of progress, but the school is improving from a very low base. Since 2022–23, ELA proficiency rose from 7.56% to 12.15%, math from 4.24% to 13.62%, and science from 6.33% to 18.42%. The recent science increase was especially notable, while ELA was nearly flat. The statewide ranking also improved from below the 1st percentile in 2024–25 to the 4th percentile in 2025–26. Overall, the main priorities appear to be accelerating reading growth, addressing fourth-grade learning gaps, and sustaining science and math improvement. The results suggest that staffing levels and spending alone have not yet produced strong outcomes.
