Summary:

The West Valley School District (Spokane) includes three high schools serving grades 8–12: West Valley High School, Dishman Hills High School, and Spokane Valley High School. Together, they serve about 1,361 students in the Spokane Valley area, but their academic and graduation results vary considerably.

West Valley High School is the strongest overall option in the district. It has the highest 2025–26 proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science, including 59.5% proficiency in English language arts. Its 96.4% graduation rate matches the district rate and is well above the state rate, while its 1.5% dropout rate is very low. The school’s recent ranking also improved substantially. However, math and science remain areas for improvement, with proficiency rates below district and state averages. Spokane Valley High School is a middle performer. Its graduation rate of 86.1% is above the state average, and its dropout rate is below the state rate. Math proficiency improved by 8.2 percentage points in one year, though it remains below district expectations.

Dishman Hills High School faces the greatest challenges among the three schools. It has the lowest ranking and the lowest proficiency rates, especially in math, where only 3.95% of students were proficient. Its 82.0% graduation rate is close to the state average, but its 13.2% dropout rate is higher than both the district and state rates. Across the district, math is the clearest academic priority, and science scores declined at all three schools. Families comparing these schools should consider both test results and completion outcomes: West Valley stands out for consistency, Spokane Valley shows some encouraging improvement, and Dishman Hills may require the most additional academic and student-support resources.
