School Overview

New Market High School is a public alternative high school located in Tumwater, Washington, operating under the Tumwater School District. The school is designed to serve students who may benefit from a smaller, more personalized learning environment compared to a traditional large high school. By focusing on individualized instruction and flexible programming, New Market High aims to support students in meeting credit requirements, overcoming academic barriers, and staying on track toward graduation.

In addition to its focus on credit retrieval and academic recovery, the school maintains a supportive culture that emphasizes student-teacher relationships and social-emotional growth. Because it shares a campus with the New Market Skills Center—a regional vocational training facility—students at New Market High School often have unique access to career and technical education (CTE) opportunities. This allows them to combine their core high school curriculum with hands-on professional training, helping them prepare for post-graduation goals such as workforce entry, trade certification, or higher education.
