Summary

Three Rivers Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in the Pasco School District, serving 657 students in a community where a majority qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of Washington elementary schools, though it shows a relative strength in math compared to the district average. Performance varies by grade, with third graders showing stronger results than fourth and fifth graders. The school appears to be more effective for its English Language Learner and Hispanic students relative to how other schools in the state serve similar groups, but there is a notable gender gap in effectiveness, particularly for female students. With per-student spending lower than most nearby schools and a student-teacher ratio of about 16 to 1, resources are comparable to some but not all peers in the district.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools reveal that outcomes are not predetermined by demographics. Most strikingly, Ruth Livingston Elementary, less than a mile away in the same district, achieves a much higher ranking and proficiency rates. Schools in the neighboring Kennewick School District, like Vista Elementary and Hawthorne Elementary, also perform better despite similar community demographics, suggesting both district resources and school-level practices are important. Within Pasco, results for STEM-designated schools are mixed, with Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary performing better than Barbara McClintock STEM Elementary.
