The city of Pullman, Washington is home to 7 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Pullman School District, which is ranked 19th out of 247 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating. The district includes 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, with several standout performers.

It boasts exceptional test scores, with 86.07% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 58.71% in Math, as well as a very high 95.6% 4-year graduation rate.

Sunnyside Elementary also stands out, ranking 209th and earning 4 stars, with 66.14% proficiency in both ELA and Math.
While the Pullman School District as a whole is high-performing, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-tier schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Jefferson Elementary and Pullman Community Montessori. This suggests opportunities to learn from the practices of the top schools and apply them to improve outcomes across the district. Additionally, the schools vary in their racial demographics and free/reduced lunch rates, which likely contribute to the performance differences and warrant further investigation.
