Innovation Spokane Schools

Innovation Spokane Schools is a single-school district in Spokane, Washington, serving grades 9–12 at Innovation High School, with 232 students enrolled at 811 E. Sprague. Because the district has only one school and no elementary or middle schools, district and school results are identical, and there are no feeder patterns or cross-school comparisons to make. The school sits 39th of 238 in Washington, in the 84th percentile, and holds 4 stars.

The most striking story is one-year improvement. Innovation High School climbed from 277th of 438 in 2024–25 to 116th of 396 in 2025–26 — 161 positions higher — moving from the 37th to the 71st percentile and from 2 stars to 4 stars. ELA proficiency reached 71.15% in 2025–26, 18.34 points above the state's 52.81%, while Science hit 63.33%, 12.38 points above the state's 50.95%. Both subjects gained sharply year over year, far outpacing small statewide shifts. The graduation rate of 90.0% in 2024–25 is also 7.4 points above the state's 82.6%, making it a clear strength.

Math is the main weakness. At 27.45% proficient in 2025–26, it trails the state's 43.11% by 15.66 points; it did improve 5.71 points from the prior year, but the gap remains large. Families should also note some data limits: the only school-level dropout figure is 10.7% from 2021–22, while the state figure is 9.8% from 2024–25, so current dropout performance is unknown here, and there is no multi-year graduation trend. Context figures — a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, free/reduced lunch at 40.95%, and per-student spending of $18,329 — are worth knowing but come without state or peer benchmarks, and with only 232 students, year-to-year rates can swing noticeably.
