Summary:

Spokane Valley, Washington, has 33 schools serving elementary, middle, high-school, alternative, online, and specialized students across the Central Valley School District and East Valley School District (Spokane), with approximately 16,000 students overall. Central Valley is the stronger district by statewide ranking, placing in the 81st percentile compared with East Valley’s 44th percentile, although school quality varies considerably within both districts. The area offers traditional neighborhood schools as well as technical, virtual, parent-partnership, and alternative programs.

The highest-ranked schools include Spokane Valley Technical, ranked ninth among Washington high schools, and Horizon Middle School, ranked in the 91st percentile. Among elementary and K–8 options, Sunrise Elementary, Summit School, and Continuous Curriculum School stand out for strong overall assessment results. Continuous Curriculum is especially notable because it substantially outperforms the broader East Valley district. Other strong Central Valley choices include Greenacres Elementary, McDonald Elementary School, and Ponderosa Elementary.

For parents comparing academic subjects, math is the clearest area of concern, particularly in high school: results are much lower at Central Valley Virtual Learning High School, Mica Peak High School, and East Valley High School than at Spokane Valley Technical. Elementary science is comparatively strong, led by Sunrise, Summit, and Continuous Curriculum. Traditional high schools generally report graduation rates above Washington’s 82.6% average, with University High School and Central Valley High School showing especially strong outcomes. Ranking gains at Bowdish Middle School and Adams Elementary are encouraging, while suppressed results should be treated as unknown rather than low performance.
