School Overview

Puyallup High School sits in the heart of Puyallup, a city that manages to feel both genuinely small-town and surprisingly connected — with easy access to Tacoma and the broader South Sound region. The school's standout strength is in science, where it ranks in the top 10% statewide, making it a solid fit for families with kids who lean toward STEM or just want a school with real academic depth beyond the basics. With a strong overall profile and a community that takes its Friday night football and local traditions seriously, this is the kind of place where students can find both rigorous coursework and a big, spirited school culture to grow into.
