Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99353

Summary:

Zip code 99353 in West Richland, Washington, is served by seven schools within the Richland School District, including three elementary schools, two middle schools, and two alternative programs, collectively educating around 3,300 students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Families will find a mix of high-performing and struggling schools within the same community. Desert Sky Elementary and Leona Libby Middle School stand out as top-tier options, consistently earning 4-star ratings with test scores well above state averages. William Wiley Elementary is also a solid choice. However, Tapteal Elementary and the online Pacific Crest Online Academy face significant academic challenges, with lower ratings and proficiency rates.

A notable gap exists between the two middle schools, with Leona Libby significantly outperforming Enterprise Middle School despite similar resources. The district as a whole is strong, ranking in the top 30% in the state, but these internal disparities highlight the importance of researching individual schools. The alternative Special Programs school serves a very small, specialized population.
