Funding and Resources

Near-average districts typically provide core academic programs with adequate staffing, though program breadth may be more limited than in higher-funded systems.

District Scale and Program Breadth
Pasco School District is a large district with 29 schools serving students from K–12. The district enrolls approximately 18,515 students in total. Large districts typically provide broad program variety: multiple course tracks at the high school level, dedicated arts and athletic programs, specialized learning pathways, and a wider range of student support services. Individual school quality within a large district can vary considerably — always research your specific assigned school, not just district-level averages.
Understanding the 2/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Pasco School District 2 out of 10 — low-rated among Washington public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection. We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Washington is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Pasco School District holds a low overall rating, with reading and math proficiency among the lowest in Washington on state assessments. Test results reflect many factors beyond the classroom, including community and economic conditions; a low score is a signal to research carefully, not a verdict on any individual school or teacher. Families in this area should research all available alternatives: inter-district transfers, charter schools, and magnet programs. Contact the district directly to understand exactly what programs are available at your assigned school.
