Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99352

Summary:

The 99352 zip code in Richland, Washington, is served by 15 public schools across the Richland School District and one elementary from the Kennewick School District, offering education from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Overall, the area features several high-performing schools, including top-ranked Richland High School and Orchard Elementary, which achieve state rankings in the 80th percentile or higher. However, performance varies significantly between schools, with a noticeable dip at the middle school level; both Carmichael Middle School and Chief Joseph Middle School rank lower than the district's elementary and high schools. The alternative Three Rivers Home Link program also shows solid results with a unique model.

Parents should note that while the district is strong overall, some schools, like Rivers Edge High School and Sacajawea Elementary, have much lower academic rankings. Math proficiency tends to decline in the upper grades across most schools. The standout Amon Creek Elementary demonstrates that a school in a lower-ranked neighboring district can still outperform many local options.
