Summary:
Pomeroy, Washington, is served by two public schools in the small Pomeroy School District: Pomeroy Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through sixth grade with 201 students, and Pomeroy Junior Senior High School, serving grades 7–12 with 142 students. Together, the schools enroll about 343 students. The district ranks in the 77th percentile statewide and has a four-star rating, although results can vary considerably by grade in this small-school setting.
Pomeroy Elementary School has the strongest current academic profile. In 2025–2026, students exceeded both district and state proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science. Math was the standout, with 63.72% of students proficient—more than 20 percentage points above the state rate. The school ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide and received four stars. However, its ranking and reported ELA and math scores declined somewhat from the prior year. The high school had lower overall proficiency than the elementary school and trailed the district in each subject, but its results were above state averages in ELA, math, and science. It also showed the district’s clearest improvement, rising from the 30th to the 58th percentile over three years.
Families may want to look closely at grade-level differences, especially during the transition into seventh grade. At Pomeroy Junior Senior High School, seventh-grade ELA proficiency was 26.92% and math proficiency was 38.46%, while eighth-grade results were much stronger; eighth-grade science reached 72.41%. Eleventh-grade science, at 31.58%, was a notable area for attention. The available graduation rate was 83.0%, and nearly half of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. The high school had a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the elementary school. Because enrollment is small and some results are suppressed, individual percentages may change substantially from year to year.
