William Wiley Elementary School

West Richland sits along the Yakima River at the edge of Washington's wine country, offering a quieter, more suburban feel compared to its Tri-Cities neighbors — and William Wiley Elementary fits right into that community-minded vibe. Scoring in the upper 70s percentile-wise across English and Math, it's a solidly performing school that tends to draw families looking for consistency and a tight-knit elementary experience. If you're relocating to West Richland for work at Hanford or the broader energy sector, Wiley is the kind of neighborhood school where kids know their teachers and parents stay involved.
