About Jason Lee Elementary School
Jason Lee Elementary School is located in the county of Benton, Richland City, in southeastern Washington. One of the Tri-Cities of Washington, along with Kennewick and Pasco, it was once a small town with farming as its main source of income. In 1943, the US Army bought almost 2000 square kilometers of land for the workers of the Hanford Atomic Works and from a population of only 300 residents, it increased to approximately 25,000 towards the end of 1945.

Jason Lee Elementary School is run by the Richland School District education agency. This school district serves Richland and West Richland cities. With an approximate enrollment of 10,000, and more than 1,000 employees, it has eight elementary schools, three middle schools, and three high schools.

Categorized as a Primary School, it offers Kindergarten to Fifth Grade to approximately 680 students. The 35 hardworking and dedicated teachers make up the student-teacher ratio of 19 students for every teacher.

Origin
This school was named after Jason Lee, an American Missionary, who helped organize the American colonial government in Oregon of North America. Built in 1951, it had an additional wing built three years after. It has seven portable classrooms in an 81, 372 square feet of land. The school had a new roof, new windows, and air conditioning in 1987.

Jason Lee Elementary School has classrooms which boast of its being spacious, an auditorium, a computer laboratory, and a playground which is safe for the students. All of these were the result of the fundraising activities and the hard work of the school’s Parent-Teacher Association.#idx-price-bar#
