Summary:
Walla Walla Public Schools is a district of 14 schools serving around 4,900 students from pre-K through 12th grade in southeastern Washington, ranking in the middle of the state's districts with an overall 2-star rating.
For families, the district presents a mix of strengths and challenges. The standout traditional schools are Prospect Point Elementary, the district's top academic performer, and the comprehensive Walla Walla High School, which boasts a strong graduation rate and excellent science scores. However, math proficiency is a significant weakness across the district, lagging behind state averages. The two middle schools, Pioneer Middle School and Garrison Middle School, show average performance, serving as a key bridge to high school.
The district offers several alternative pathways with vastly different outcomes. Walla Walla Online is an efficient and effective option, while Lincoln High School successfully graduates students despite low test scores. In contrast, Walla Walla Open Doors serves a highly at-risk population with very low graduation rates. Overall, Walla Walla Public Schools achieves high graduation rates district-wide but struggles to bring academic proficiency, especially in math, up to state standards.
