Another week of the 2025-26 Washington High School Boys Basketball season has come and gone, and High School On SI is bringing you the latest composite rankings to give you a look at how the top teams stack up.

These composite Washington boys basketball rankings use an average-rank formula to combine the Top 25 rankings from High School On SI, MaxPreps, On3/Rivals, and Prep Hoops.

Teams unranked by a source were excluded from that source’s average, and ties were broken by number of appearances across rankings, then by highest individual ranking.

Richland and Rainer Beach were the top two teams competing for the top spot this week, with Richland ranked No. 1 by MaxPreps and Prep Hoops, and Rainer Beach ranked No. 1 by High School On SI and On3/Rivals.
