School Overview

Ellensburg High School sits in one of Central Washington's most underrated towns — a college city (home to CWU) with a genuine small-town feel, rodeo traditions, and easy access to the Cascades. The school punches solidly above average across the board, with science being a particular strength, making it a good fit for families who want a well-rounded public school experience without the pressure of a big-city district. If you're drawn to a community where Friday night football and hiking trails coexist, Ellensburg delivers on both fronts.
