Libby Center

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Libby Center is a top-ranked K-8 elementary school serving 305 students in Spokane, Washington, and it stands out as one of the very best schools in the entire state.

The school's academic performance is extraordinary, with over 95% of students proficient in English and Math, which is about 40 to 60 points higher than the average for the Spokane School District. This excellence is consistent for all students, and the school is ranked #2 out of over 1,100 schools in Washington. What makes this especially remarkable is that nearby schools, like Frances Scott Elementary just half a mile away, perform very differently, showing that Libby Center's success is not simply due to its location.

Libby Center achieves these outstanding results while serving a diverse student body and with per-student funding that is similar to other local schools, such as Logan Elementary and Bemiss Elementary, which have much lower proficiency rates. This indicates that the school's specific programs, teaching quality, and culture are the driving forces behind its consistent, district-leading success.
