Summary

Pullman High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 and 838 students in Pullman, Washington, as part of the strong Pullman School District. The school ranks in the top 10% of Washington schools, placing 24th of 396 schools in 2025–2026, while the district ranks 26th of 238. Its larger enrollment provides a more stable basis for year-to-year comparisons than nearby schools with only 45 to 263 students.

Academically, Pullman stands out most in English Language Arts, where 84.74% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 66.27% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Science is also a major strength, with 71.35% proficient versus 50.95% statewide. Mathematics is the clearest opportunity for improvement: 56.32% of students were proficient, above Washington’s 43.11% but below the district’s 60.18%. Even so, Pullman reported stronger math and science results than nearby Colfax High School, Garfield at Palouse High School, and Palouse High School in the latest comparable data. Some results for the smaller schools were suppressed, meaning they were unavailable for privacy reasons rather than indicating zero performance.

Student outcomes are consistently strong beyond test scores. Pullman’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 93.8%, compared with 82.6% statewide, and its latest available school dropout rate was 1.9% in 2023–2024, well below the state rate of 9.7%. Subgroup effectiveness is also generally positive, including 94th-percentile performance for low-income students and a substantial improvement for special education students. Parents may want to ask how the school is addressing the persistent math gap with the district and monitoring the recent decline in the Hispanic-student subgroup ranking, while recognizing that subgroup rankings are relative measures rather than direct proficiency rates.
