Summary:

The Central Valley School District in Washington's Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake area serves over 13,000 students across 31 schools, ranging from elementary to high school, including specialized and virtual programs, and ranks in the top quarter of districts statewide.

Academic performance varies significantly across the district, with standout schools like the Stem Academy at SVT and Ridgeline High School achieving some of the highest test scores and graduation rates in the state. In contrast, schools such as North Pines Middle School and Progress Elementary School face greater challenges, with proficiency rates well below the district average. The district's high schools, including University High School and Mica Peak High School, show a wide range of outcomes, though all maintain graduation rates far above the state average.

Key takeaways include a noticeable drop in math proficiency in middle school compared to elementary grades, and the exceptional success of specialized programs like the STEM Academy. While the district performs well overall, there are clear performance differences between schools, with higher-poverty schools generally facing steeper academic challenges. Resources are not always aligned with outcomes, as seen at Mica Peak High School, which has the highest per-student spending but some of the lowest test scores among high schools.
