Chiawana Senior High School

Chiawana Senior High School sits in Pasco, a fast-growing city in Washington's Tri-Cities area where the Columbia and Snake Rivers meet — a region known for its agricultural roots, expanding economy, and tight-knit Latino community. With scores that hover around the mid-to-lower range statewide, Chiawana may be a better fit for families who prioritize a diverse, culturally rich school environment over raw academic rankings, and the school's size does offer a range of extracurriculars and sports. Families who value being part of a community on the rise — Pasco is one of the faster-growing cities in the state — and who are willing to advocate for additional academic support may find it a meaningful place to grow.
