Finley Middle School

Finley Middle School sits just outside the Tri-Cities area in a tight-knit, semi-rural community that feels a world apart from the bustle of nearby Kennewick. Academic results here tend to trail state averages, so families who prioritize strong test scores may want to weigh their options carefully — but for families already rooted in the Finley area, the small-district feel means kids are rarely just a number. The surrounding Benton County landscape, with its open land and close community ties, tends to attract families who value that slower-paced, everyone-knows-your-name environment over urban convenience.
