Summary

Three Rivers Home Link is a K–12 alternative school in Richland, Washington, serving 756 students as part of the Richland School District. The school serves families in the Tri-Cities area through a home-link educational model and is larger than nearby alternative schools.

Academically, Three Rivers is the strongest performer among the three nearby schools in the available 2025–26 assessment data. Its proficiency rates were 60.96% in English language arts, 46.35% in math, and 78.22% in science. These results exceeded both Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership and Pacific Crest Online Academy in every tested subject. Three Rivers also outperformed Washington statewide results in all three areas. Science is the clearest strength: the school’s 78.22% result was well above the district’s 56.68% and the state’s 50.95%, following a notable increase from 64.77% the prior year. Middle-grade results are especially encouraging, with grades 6–8 showing strong math performance and above-district results in several subjects.

Parents should also note some uneven results. Elementary math and ELA, particularly in grades 3 and 4, are weaker than district averages, while 10th-grade math also trails the district. The latest school-specific graduation rate was 81.0% in 2023–24, but historical results have varied substantially, so additional years are needed to establish a dependable trend. Recent school-level dropout data are limited. Three Rivers reported 38.3 students per teacher, similar to Mid-Columbia and considerably higher than Pacific Crest’s 17.1, although this measure may reflect differences in alternative-school staffing models rather than class size. Overall, the school offers a comparatively strong academic profile, especially in science and middle-grade learning, while elementary support and graduation consistency merit closer attention.
