Summary:
Pomeroy Junior Senior High School is the only high school in Pomeroy School District, serving grades 7–12 and 142 students in the small community of Pomeroy, Washington. Because there is just one high school, its results represent the district’s high-school experience. The school has a low 11.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio, though its small enrollment means that a relatively small number of students can significantly affect yearly percentages.
The school’s recent direction is encouraging. Its statewide ranking improved from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 58th percentile in 2025–2026. During the same period, all-grade proficiency increased in English language arts, math, and science. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded Washington’s statewide averages in all three subjects: 53.42% were proficient in ELA, 49.32% in math, and 56.25% in science. Science showed the largest year-over-year gain, rising more than 13 percentage points. Eighth-grade math and science were particular strengths, while tenth-grade math also performed well above the state average.
Parents should also note important differences by grade. Seventh-grade ELA was a clear weakness, with 26.92% proficiency compared with 53.23% statewide. Eleventh-grade science was another area of concern, at 31.58% compared with 48.78% statewide. The tenth-grade ELA result was suppressed, so it cannot be meaningfully evaluated. The reported graduation rate was 83%, roughly similar to the available statewide comparison, although the dropout figures are from different years and are not directly comparable. Overall, the school offers a small-school setting with improving academic results, strong performance in several middle and upper-grade subjects, and clear opportunities to strengthen seventh-grade reading and eleventh-grade science.
