Summary:

In the 99338 zip code of Kennewick, Washington, three high schools within the Kennewick School District serve a total of over 1,800 students, ranging from a large traditional high school to smaller alternative programs for grades 6-12.

Southridge High School is the largest and most traditional option, with the highest graduation rate and strong English proficiency, though it faces challenges in math. The two alternative schools present a stark contrast: Phoenix High School earns the best state ranking and highest proficiency scores in the group despite its small size, while Legacy High School, which serves a wider grade range, has significantly lower graduation rates despite having the highest per-student spending.

Overall, these schools show that smaller size and lower student-teacher ratios, as seen at Phoenix, can correlate with strong academic performance. The district's high schools generally exceed the district's average graduation rate, but math proficiency is an area for improvement across all three. Parents should consider the specific model and size of each school, as outcomes vary widely even within the same zip code and district.
