The school's WASL and Iowa Standard Test scores annually rank among the statewide leaders, and almost always lead the area. The school's DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America--the national high school Marketing club) program sends more students to the state competition than any other area school's, despite the aforementioned disparity in student population. The school's Knowledge Bowl and Math Competition teams are also frequent winners at state competitions. ATHLETICS The school's colors are Scarlet and Gold , and its teams are called "Braves".

Kamiakin's biggest Rivals in most Sports are Southridge High (located in southwest Kennewick) and Kennewick High School (in the east).
