Schools in Garfield County

Two schools, one district, one town — Garfield County offers about as focused a public school landscape as exists anywhere in Washington State. Families relocating to Pomeroy aren't navigating a complex web of attendance zones or open enrollment decisions; the path is straightforward. What that simplicity delivers, though, is notable: Pomeroy Elementary School ranks at the 80th percentile statewide, a strong result for a rural district in the Palouse region. The junior-senior high school holds its own at the 55th percentile. For families drawn to small-town eastern Washington, this single-district county punches above expectations.
