Robert L Olds Junior High School

Connell is a small agricultural community in the Columbia Basin, where the pace is slower and neighbors tend to know each other well — and Robert L. Olds Junior High reflects that tight-knit character. Academic outcomes here sit below state midpoints across English, math, and science, so families who prioritize test-score benchmarks may want to dig deeper into what support resources and extracurriculars are available. That said, for families already rooted in the Connell area and connected to the farming and rural culture of Franklin County, this is the local middle school serving their community, and understanding its specific programs and teachers will matter more than statewide rankings alone.
