Washington High School Coordinates: 43°33′14″N 96°40′25″W / 43.553881°N 96.673517°W (commonly Washington, Washington High, or WHS) is a public secondary school located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with an enrollment of 1,831 students. The school is part of the Sioux Falls School District, and is one of three public high schools in Sioux Falls.
Founded in 1908, Washington High School succeeded Central School and Irving High School as the city's predominate secondary public school, built to accommodate a larger student capacity. In 1992 the school transferred from its downtown location to its current site, with the previous building remodeled to become the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science.
Washington High was included in Newsweek's 2008 online edition of the top 1,300 public high schools in America, ranking at 1,230; below Lincoln High School (at 1,070) and above Roosevelt High School (at 1,274). As of 2009[update], however, Washington High was the only school to receive US News & World Report's silver medal high school ranking in South Dakota. The school's class of 2009 also was the only school to achieve a minimum level of proficiency among all groups tested on the South Dakota STEP, a standards-based test designed to meet NCLB requirements.
