Summary:
Pullman School District serves approximately 2,731 students across six schools—four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—in the Pullman area of Washington. The district ranks 26th among 238 Washington districts, placing it among the state’s strongest overall, although performance varies considerably between elementary schools.
Pullman High School is a major district strength, ranking 24th among Washington high schools with a 93.8% graduation rate, 84.74% ELA proficiency, and 71.35% science proficiency. Math is comparatively weaker at 56.32%, though still above the state average. Lincoln Middle School also performs strongly, ranking 50th statewide and improving in ELA, math, and science. Among elementary schools, Sunnyside Elementary offers the most balanced and consistent results, with proficiency above 70% in all three subjects and a strong statewide ranking. Franklin Elementary has the district’s highest elementary math proficiency at 74.13% and strong ELA results, although its ranking declined from the previous year. Its current science result is suppressed and should be treated as unavailable, not as a low score.
Jefferson Elementary remains the greatest academic support priority, with the lowest current proficiency in ELA, math, and science, especially fifth-grade math at 26.67%, despite improving in every subject. Kamiak Elementary has stronger science performance but experienced the sharpest recent decline, including a 13.1-point drop in ELA and a substantial ranking decrease. Overall, parents will find excellent options across the district, while Jefferson and Kamiak warrant closer attention to current achievement trends and grade-level support. Math is the most consistent area for improvement at the district’s lower-performing schools and at the high school.
