Rowena Chess Elementary

Rowena Chess Elementary serves families in Pasco, a growing city in the Tri-Cities area of southeastern Washington where the Columbia and Snake Rivers meet — a region known for its agricultural roots and tight-knit Latino community. The school faces significant academic challenges, with test scores among the lowest in the state, making it a place where extra family involvement and outside academic support can make a real difference for kids. Families drawn to Pasco's affordable housing, warm summers, and strong sense of community should go in with eyes open and stay closely connected to their child's learning journey here.
