Summary:
The East Valley School District (Spokane) in Spokane Valley, WA, includes one middle school, East Valley Middle School, serving grades 7 and 8 with 394 students in a community with significant economic need.
East Valley Middle School shows promising signs of improvement, having significantly increased its statewide ranking over the past few years and moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating. The school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1 and a high level of investment, with per-student spending well above the national average, which are resources aimed at supporting its students.
Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are below both district and state averages, with science being the subject with the largest gap. However, its 8th-grade math scores are closest to the state average, and the recent jump in ranking suggests positive changes may be taking effect. For parents, this indicates a school with considerable resources and recent progress, but one where academic achievement still has room to grow compared to broader benchmarks.
