Summary:
The Mead School District in Washington, ranked in the state's top 21%, operates four public schools serving grades K-12 in a mix of elementary and high school settings, with a total enrollment of around 2,300 students.
Among the schools, Meadow Ridge Elementary stands out as the highest performer, consistently ranking in the top 15% of state elementary schools with strong scores across all subjects, particularly in science. The district's main high school, Mt Spokane High School, also performs well above state averages, boasting a 92% graduation rate and excellent English scores. In contrast, Creekside Elementary School ranks significantly lower academically, despite having the smallest class sizes and highest per-student funding in the district.
The district shows notable strengths in English Language Arts instruction and graduation rates, but a concerning drop in math proficiency from elementary to high school. The significant performance gap between the two elementary schools is a key finding for the community. The fourth school, Mead Open Doors, is a very small alternative program for older students with limited public performance data available.
