Summary

Progress Elementary School is a public school in Spokane Valley serving approximately 280 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Central Valley School District, a relatively strong Washington district ranked in the 81st percentile statewide. The school serves a higher-need community than most nearby schools, with 77.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking improved to the 35th percentile, up from the 7th percentile in 2022–2023, showing meaningful recent progress even though it remains behind most nearby Central Valley schools.

Current academic results are mixed. Progress students reached 51.85% proficiency in English language arts, 40.74% in math, and 54.29% in science. ELA is close to the state rate, and science is above the statewide result of 50.95%; math is the clearest weakness, below both the state and district averages. Fourth-grade math is especially concerning, with only 36.11% of students reaching proficiency, compared with 58.29% districtwide. Progress trails nearby Adams Elementary by 21.69 points in math and Riverbend Elementary School by 17.84 points. It also ranks below Summit School, Greenacres Elementary, and McDonald Elementary School.

The improvement trend is encouraging: since 2022–2023, ELA proficiency has risen from 23.21% to 51.85%, while science increased from 23.33% to 54.29%. Subgroup effectiveness also improved, with students from low-socioeconomic-status backgrounds reaching the 71st statewide percentile and male students reaching the 64th percentile in 2025–2026. Progress outperforms the similarly high-need Opportunity Elementary in all three tested subjects and exceeds Trent School by wide margins. Families should view Progress as a school on an upward path, with sustaining its gains and accelerating math—especially fourth-grade math—as the most important priorities.
