Summary:
Pullman, Washington, has six public schools serving students in grades PK–12: four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school, all part of the highly rated Pullman School District. Together, the schools enroll 2,731 students, and the district ranks 26th among 238 Washington districts, placing it in the 89th percentile. Overall, the district offers especially strong secondary schools, while elementary performance varies more widely.
Pullman High School is the strongest-ranked school, placing in the 94th percentile statewide. It has an excellent 93.8% graduation rate and especially strong English Language Arts results, with 84.74% of students proficient. Math is a relative weakness at 56.32%, although that remains above the state average. Lincoln Middle School is also performing well and improving, rising to the 90th percentile. Its math, science, and ELA results all exceed state averages, with math showing particularly strong year-over-year growth. These results suggest a solid middle-to-high-school academic pathway.
Among elementary schools, Sunnyside Elementary offers the most balanced and consistent performance, exceeding district averages in ELA, math, and science. Franklin Elementary has the highest current elementary ELA and math scores, though its science results are unavailable. Jefferson Elementary has improved but remains below district and state averages, particularly in fifth-grade math. Kamiak Elementary remains relatively strong in science but has experienced the sharpest recent decline, especially in ELA. Parents comparing schools should consider both current scores and trends: Sunnyside and Franklin are the leading elementary choices by available results, while Jefferson and Kamiak warrant closer attention to improvement efforts and grade-level performance.
