Summary:

This analysis examines five elementary schools (serving grades K-5) located in zip code 99338 within the Kennewick School District in Washington state, revealing a group of generally high-performing schools with one notable exception.

Four of the five schools are strong performers, ranking in the top 30% of Washington elementary schools and exceeding both district and state test score averages. Ridge View Elementary School stands out as the top-ranked school locally, with the highest scores in English and Science, while Cottonwood Elementary shows remarkable year-to-year consistency and has the highest math proficiency. In contrast, Fuerza Elementary faces significant challenges, ranking in the bottom quartile of state schools with the lowest test scores across all subjects.

The data shows a clear relationship between economic disadvantage and academic outcomes within this zip code. Fuerza Elementary serves a student population with a much higher percentage qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which correlates with its lower performance. Interestingly, school funding levels do not directly predict success here; Lincoln Elementary School has the highest per-student spending but middle-tier results, while Cottonwood achieves top results with average funding. Overall, parents in this area will find several high-quality elementary school options, with the performance of Sage Crest Elementary and others significantly outpacing the average rating of the district they belong to.
