Palouse School District

Located at 600 E Alder Street in Palouse, Washington, the Palouse School District serves as a primary educational hub within a rural remote setting of the Pullman metropolitan region. Operating as an active, traditional public school district rather than a charter entity, it manages three operational schools that deliver a complete educational continuum from prekindergarten through twelfth grade. This comprehensive grade coverage allows local families to experience an uninterrupted academic journey within a single cohesive system tailored to the character and values of the surrounding community.

With a total enrollment of 191 students—comprising 99 male and 92 female pupils—the district fosters an intimate learning environment enriched by student backgrounds that include White, Hispanic, multiracial, and American Indian learners. The district's human resources are a central pillar of its educational framework, featuring a total staffing footprint of nearly 55 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. This includes approximately 34.6 FTE teachers alongside dedicated instructional aides and operational support staff. This robust staffing profile relative to student enrollment creates an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing educators to offer personalized instruction, attentive academic support, and strong community engagement across all grade levels.
