Summary:
The Nine Mile Falls School District serves approximately 648 elementary students across three schools—Lake Spokane Elementary, Nine Mile Falls Elementary, and the K-8 Nine Mile Family Partnership Program—in a district that ranks in the top 20% statewide.
Among these schools, Lake Spokane Elementary is the largest and highest-ranked, with particularly strong math and science scores that exceed state averages. Nine Mile Family Partnership Program stands out for having the top English scores despite much lower per-student spending, while Nine Mile Falls Elementary has seen a notable drop in its state ranking this year, though its math performance remains solid.
Overall, the district's elementary schools perform above state averages in core subjects. Parents may note that fifth-grade math scores are an area of focus across schools, and the distinct model of the Family Partnership program offers a different educational approach. The district's strong ranking suggests a generally effective school system, with each school providing different strengths and environments for families to consider.
