Hanford High School also performs well, with a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 25% of Washington high schools, though its academic metrics are slightly behind Richland High School.
In contrast, Rivers Edge High School is the smallest and lowest-performing school in the district, with a 0-star rating and significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the other two high schools and the district/state averages. This performance gap suggests that students at Rivers Edge may be facing greater challenges or barriers to academic success, despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the other two high schools.
