Summary

Spokane International Academy is a K–12 alternative school in Spokane, WA, serving 824 students in the Spokane area and offering a larger, more traditionally staffed program than many nearby online and home-link schools. The school reports a 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio, 55.34% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and $17,730 in per-student spending. It is part of the Spokane International Academy district.

Academically, SIA is one of the stronger nearby alternative schools. In 2025–26, 52.83% of students were proficient in ELA, nearly identical to Washington’s 52.81%; math proficiency was 45.75%, above the state’s 43.11%; and science proficiency was 62.07%, well above the statewide 50.95%. Among nearby schools with complete reported results, SIA ranked third in ELA and second in both math and science. Bryant Center led the comparison group, while SIA generally performed ahead of Mead Learning Options and most other nearby programs. Comparisons should be made carefully because many alternatives are much smaller or use online and independent-study models.

Science is SIA’s clearest strength, with results above the state in both reported 5th- and 8th-grade assessments. Middle-school performance is also encouraging: 7th-grade ELA reached 73.17%, while 6th- through 8th-grade math results exceeded state averages. The main concerns are 4th- through 6th-grade ELA, 4th- and 5th-grade math, and especially 10th-grade math at 28.57%. Overall results have been mixed: science rebounded to 62.07% after a one-year dip, while math improved only slightly from 44.81% to 45.75% and remains below earlier levels. SIA appears well resourced, but families should ask how the school is addressing elementary literacy and upper-grade math.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, October 4, 2021

In my OPINION this is the worst place you want to work for if you are not a teacher. While most administrative people make $50k and up, the bottom feeders make a miserable $1200 a MONTH. I am glad I am in a better place where my worth is valued and make triple the money. Could you support your family on $1200 a month .... in 2021? Don't do this to yourself. They get 1 star because at least SOME of the teachers take pride in what they do. Close Quote
