Prosser Heights also outperformed most schools in the supplied comparison group, including Pioneer Elementary School, Chief Kamiakin Elementary School, Washington Elementary, and Kiona-Benton City Elementary. Thompson Elementary School was stronger overall, while Mcclure Elementary School was slightly stronger in math. Subgroup effectiveness has improved, particularly for Hispanic, White, English learner, and migrant students, although low-income, English learner, and special education groups remain areas for continued attention. Overall, the school’s positive momentum is strongest in math and science, with sustained focus on fourth-grade ELA and broader student-group support likely to be most valuable.
