Summary:
East Valley School District (Spokane) has one high school, East Valley High School, serving grades 9–12 and about 912 students in the Spokane Valley area. With no other high school in the district for comparison, the most useful measures are the school’s results against district and Washington averages and its own performance over time.
East Valley High School has strong completion outcomes. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 89.4%, nearly identical to the East Valley School District (Spokane) average and 6.8 percentage points above the state rate. Its dropout rate was 3.5%, far below Washington’s 9.8% average. English Language Arts is the school’s strongest academic subject relative to the district: 50.0% of students were proficient, compared with 43.66% districtwide. However, that result was 2.81 points below the state average and represented a sizable decline from 60.45% the prior year.
The main concerns are math and science. Math proficiency was 30.43%, which was 6.62 points below the district and 12.68 points below the state. Science proficiency was 36.55%, trailing the district by 6.52 points and the state by 14.40 points. Math has remained near 30% for two years, suggesting a persistent challenge, while science also declined modestly. About 59% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, an important context when evaluating results, though the available figures do not explain the causes of performance differences. The school’s ranking stayed at two stars and its statewide percentile fell from 42nd to 35th most recently. Overall, the school appears more successful at keeping students enrolled through graduation than at helping them meet academic benchmarks, making math and science improvement—and monitoring the recent ELA decline—key priorities.
