School Overview

Richland High School sits in one of Washington's more interesting cities — a planned community with deep roots in the Manhattan Project and a strong culture of science and engineering that still shows up in the schools today. Math and English scores are solid, but it's the science program where Richland really stands out, ranking among the top schools in the state — no surprise given the city's ties to the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the broader STEM-oriented community. Families who value hands-on scientific thinking and a tight-knit, mid-sized city vibe along the Columbia River will feel right at home here.
