Summary

Broadway Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving 282 students in Spokane Valley, WA, as part of the generally well-regarded Central Valley School District.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with its statewide ranking in the lower third of elementary schools and test scores in English, math, and science consistently below both district and state averages. The school serves a community with high economic need, and this pattern is reflected among several nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Opportunity Elementary and University Elementary School. However, performance can vary widely even among schools with similar challenges; for example, Ness Elementary in a different district achieves much higher rankings despite a comparable poverty rate.

Notable strengths for Broadway include a favorable student-teacher ratio and data suggesting its instructional model shows relative effectiveness for its economically disadvantaged students. Key areas for improvement are clear, particularly a steep drop in proficiency between 3rd and 5th grades. For context, families in the area have access to several higher-performing public options very close by, including the exceptional Sunrise Elementary and the highly-rated Summit School, highlighting the performance gap Broadway is working to close.

Horrible school the principal will treat you as though you are incompetent and they do not discuss concerns regarding children they just call cps. Be warned this has been a problem for years at this school with no consequence to the horrible staff at this school. Close Quote
