High Schools in West Valley School District (Spokane)

Summary:

The West Valley School District (Spokane) operates three public high schools—West Valley High School, Dishman Hills High School, and Spokane Valley High School—serving students in grades 8-12 in the Spokane Valley area.

Among these schools, West Valley High School stands out as the top performer, ranking significantly higher in the state and achieving a 96.4% graduation rate alongside the strongest test scores in English, math, and science. In contrast, Dishman Hills High School faces considerable academic challenges, with the district's lowest ranking and proficiency rates, particularly in math where only 7.14% of students are proficient. Spokane Valley High School falls in the middle, with academic metrics stronger than Dishman Hills but below West Valley.

A key takeaway is the wide variation in student outcomes within the same district, with a notable struggle in math proficiency across all schools. While West Valley's high graduation rate is a strength, the declining state ranking trend there and the significant performance gap compared to the other two schools suggest families should look closely at the specific programs and support offered at each campus to find the best fit.
