Summary

Captain Gray STEM Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 408 students in the Pasco School District, which faces significant academic challenges across the region.

The school is consistently ranked among the very lowest-performing elementary schools in Washington state, with recent data showing only about 12% of students proficient in English, 9% in math, and 10% in science. This underperformance is persistent, having lasted for at least seven consecutive years, and is shared by a cluster of nearby schools like Rowena Chess Elementary and Emerson Elementary, all serving neighborhoods with high levels of economic need. Despite its STEM designation, the school's math and science scores are lower than many non-STEM schools in the area, such as Mark Twain Elementary.

Notably, Captain Gray spends more per student than several comparable schools that achieve better results, suggesting resources alone are not driving outcomes. While the entire Pasco School District ranks low, the extreme and consistent results at Captain Gray indicate school-level factors may also be at play. The data shows that students are not making adequate academic progress as they advance through the grade levels at this school.
