Summary:

The 98944 zip code in Sunnyside, Washington, contains one public high school, Sunnyside High School, serving grades 9-12 with a large enrollment of over 2,100 students in a community with high economic need.

Sunnyside High School faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of Washington high schools over the past three years. While its 80% graduation rate is near the state average, its 11.4% dropout rate is higher, and proficiency rates in English, math, and science are all below state averages. The most severe gap is in mathematics, where only about 11.5% of 10th graders are proficient, which is dramatically lower than the state average.

Despite these struggles, the high school is a stronger performer within the broader Sunnyside School District, which ranks in the bottom 10% of districts statewide. The school spends over $16,600 per student, but outcomes suggest systemic challenges that require comprehensive support. For parents, this indicates a school working within a difficult context, where student persistence can lead to graduation, but where targeted academic interventions, especially in math, are critically needed.
