Selah High School up 51 spots statewide this year
Summary:

ZIP code 98942 has four high-school-level programs serving grades 6–12: Selah High School (grades 9–12), Selah High School Online (9–12), Selah Open Doors (9–12), and Selah Auxiliary (6–12), all connected with the Selah School District. Together they enroll about 1,220 students, but the traditional Selah High School serves approximately 95% of them, making it the clearest indicator of the area’s overall high-school experience.

Selah High School has the strongest reported completion outcomes, with a 97.7% graduation rate and a 1.1% dropout rate—well above the district’s 92.4% graduation rate and below its 5.4% dropout rate. However, academic test results are more mixed. In 2025–2026, 36.55% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 18.70% in math, and 26.09% in science. Math is the clearest concern, although it improved from the prior year; science declined while English and math improved. The school’s results are generally close to district results by tested grade, but remain below statewide levels, and its recent state ranking was in the 11th percentile.

The other programs are much smaller and should not be compared directly with the main campus without additional context. Selah High School Online enrolls 35 students and reported a 75.0% graduation rate, but its test results are suppressed. Selah Open Doors and Selah Auxiliary each enroll 13 students and have no listed graduation, dropout, or test-score outcomes. Their small enrollments mean percentages can change substantially based on only a few students, while missing data should be treated as unknown rather than poor performance. Overall, families will find the main campus offers the most stable information, with strong graduation results but a need for continued academic improvement, especially in math and science.
