Summary:
Spokane School District includes 13 high-school-level schools and programs in Spokane, Washington, serving grades 6–12 depending on the program. Together they report about 8,795 students, although most enrollment is concentrated in five comprehensive high schools: Lewis & Clark High School, North Central High School, Ferris High School, Rogers High School, and Shadle Park High School. The district ranks near the middle of Washington districts overall, but school results vary considerably.
Lewis & Clark High School is the strongest overall traditional high school, ranking 66th of 396 statewide with a four-star rating. It leads the large schools in English language arts, math, and science, and reports a 93.0% graduation rate and 3.7% dropout rate. Ferris High School is another strong option, ranking 108th and showing recent improvement in its rating, ranking, English, and math results. North Central High School has the highest graduation rate among the comprehensive schools at 93.8%, though its results differ sharply by grade, with much stronger middle-grade performance than 10th-grade performance.
Families should pay particular attention to math, which is weak at Rogers High School, Shadle Park High School, and The Community School. Shadle Park has improved its statewide ranking but still reports low proficiency and a relatively high dropout rate. On Track Academy stands out for a 94.2% graduation rate and only 1.2% dropout rate, despite lower test proficiency. Smaller programs such as Open Doors, SCCP Images, A-3 Multiagency Adolescent Prog, The Healing Lodge, Spokane Area Professional-Technical Skills Center, and Alternative Tamarack School serve specialized populations and should be compared using program-specific measures. Suppressed scores mean the data is unavailable, not zero.
