Summary

Pasco Digital Learning Academy is a small public school in Pasco, Washington, serving 70 students in grades K–8 as part of the Pasco School District. Its K–8 grade span is broader than most nearby neighborhood schools, which generally serve elementary grades, and its enrollment is much smaller than nearby schools serving roughly 300 to 475 students. The school’s 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 1,081st out of 1,138 Washington schools, placing it in approximately the 5th percentile. Its student-teacher ratio, however, was favorable at 12.1 to 1.

Academic results are mixed but generally below district and state averages. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 26.52% in English language arts, 9.92% in math, and 23.40% in science. Math is the clearest concern: the school ranked below most nearby comparison schools, including Longfellow Elementary, Virgie Robinson Elementary, and Robert Frost Elementary. ELA was a relative strength, ranking approximately second among the listed nearby schools behind Robert Frost, while science also ranked near the top locally, just behind Marie Curie STEM Elementary. Upper-grade ELA results were encouraging, with 32.00% proficiency in sixth grade and 32.35% in seventh grade.

All three subjects improved substantially from 2024–2025, when ELA was 10.34%, math was 2.59%, and science was 7.55%. These gains are promising, but the school’s small enrollment can make annual percentages volatile, and several grade-level results were suppressed because groups were too small to report. The school serves a high-need population, with 77.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, though that rate is lower than the roughly 89%–92% reported at most nearby Pasco schools. Overall, parents should view the academy as a small school with potentially more individualized attention, recent improvement, and relative strengths in ELA and science—but with a significant need for stronger, more consistent math outcomes across grades.
