Summary:
ZIP code 99163 has six public schools serving elementary through high school students in the Pullman School District: four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The schools enroll about 2,731 students, and the district ranks 26th out of 238 Washington districts, placing it in the state’s 89th percentile. Overall, the area offers strong secondary schools and several high-performing elementary options, although elementary results vary considerably.
Pullman High School is the strongest secondary school, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide and reporting a 93.8% graduation rate, well above the state rate. Its ELA proficiency was especially strong at 84.74%, while math at 56.32% was a relative weakness. Lincoln Middle School also performed well, ranking in the 90th percentile and exceeding state results in ELA, math, and science. Among elementary schools, Sunnyside Elementary and Franklin Elementary stand out, with current ELA and math proficiency generally in the mid-70% range.
Jefferson Elementary and Kamiak Elementary have the greatest need for improvement based on current results. Jefferson ranked in the 47th percentile, although it improved in all three tested subjects from the prior year. Kamiak’s ranking and ELA performance declined notably, with particularly weak fourth-grade results. Parents comparing schools should also consider school size, available programs, student-teacher ratios, and year-to-year changes. The district’s strong overall ranking is encouraging, but school-specific results are important because performance differs substantially among the four elementary schools.
