Summary:

Zip code 98372 in Puyallup, Washington, contains one high school, E B Walker High School, a small school serving grades 8 through 12 within the Puyallup School District.

E B Walker High School stands out for its remarkable recent improvement, climbing from the bottom 1% of Washington high schools in 2022 to the 26th percentile in 2024. This specialized school has a very small enrollment of 120 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7-to-1, supported by a high per-student spending of over $22,000. The school serves a population with significant economic need, with about 63% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it has achieved an 80% graduation rate.

While the school's academic turnaround is impressive and its resources are substantial, it faces the ongoing challenge of a dropout rate that is higher than the district average. The broader Puyallup School District performs above the state average in graduation rates, ranking in the 64th percentile statewide. For parents, this single high school in the area represents a focused, high-investment environment designed to support students who may benefit from a non-traditional, smaller school setting.
