Summary:

ZIP code 99301 includes 18 elementary-level schools in Pasco, all part of the Pasco School District, serving mostly prekindergarten through fifth grade, with Whittier Elementary serving kindergarten through second grade, Marie Curie STEM Elementary serving grades three through five, and Pasco Digital Learning Academy serving kindergarten through eighth grade.

School performance varies considerably across the area. Ruth Livingston Elementary and Edwin Markham Elementary are the clear academic leaders. Ruth Livingston ranks in the 81st statewide percentile and exceeds Washington averages in English language arts, math, and science. Edwin Markham ranks in the 84th percentile and has the highest reported English and math proficiency, although its science results are unavailable. Columbia River Elementary has shown the strongest recent improvement, rising from the 16th to the 44th statewide percentile over three years. Rosalind Franklin STEM Elementary offers a balanced profile, while Three Rivers Elementary stands out for science performance.

Math is the most common challenge, especially in fifth grade, where results often decline compared with third grade. Several schools, including Rowena Chess Elementary, Captain Gray STEM Elementary, Marie Curie STEM Elementary, and Emerson Elementary, report substantially lower proficiency than district and state averages, although some schools improved year over year. Reported free-or-reduced-price lunch rates and spending differ widely, but neither resource measure alone predicts achievement. Families should also note that Whittier Elementary has no recent test results in the supplied data, so its current performance is unknown rather than low.
