Captain Gray STEM Elementary

Pasco is a growing city in the Tri-Cities area of southeastern Washington, and Captain Gray STEM Elementary serves a community where many families are working hard to make ends meet — which makes the school's challenges around English, math, and science scores something families should weigh carefully. That said, the STEM designation signals a real commitment to hands-on, project-based learning that could offer meaningful opportunities for curious, engaged kids. Families who are proactive about supplementing academics at home and connecting with teachers directly may find ways to make the most of what the school is working toward.
