Summary

Ridgeline High School is a large public high school in Liberty Lake, Washington, serving grades 9–12 and approximately 1,575 students in the Spokane-area community. It is part of the Central Valley School District, which ranks in the 81st statewide percentile. With a 2025–26 ranking of 73rd out of 396 Washington high schools, Ridgeline ranks in the state’s top fifth and is one of the strongest large, comprehensive high schools in its immediate area.

The school’s clearest strengths are graduation, student persistence, and English language arts. In 2024–25, 95.9% of students graduated and only 1.9% dropped out, compared with 82.6% and 9.8% statewide. Its 2025–26 ELA proficiency rate was 79.63%, well above both the district’s 60.5% and the state’s 52.81%. Ridgeline also compares favorably with nearby Central Valley High School and University High School on ranking, ELA, graduation, and dropout outcomes. Its reported results with English learners, Hispanic students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds are also among its strongest subgroup measures, although these rankings describe school effectiveness compared with schools statewide rather than individual students.

Mathematics is the main area parents may want to monitor. Ridgeline’s 2025–26 math proficiency rate was 40.89%, below the district’s 51.2% and slightly below the state’s 43.11%, despite being higher than results at University and East Valley High School. Science was more solid at 53.98%, slightly above the state but below the district, and had declined from earlier highs. The school also reported a 22.8-to-1 student-teacher ratio, somewhat higher than nearby comparison schools. Overall, Ridgeline offers strong completion outcomes and exceptional literacy performance at a relatively moderate reported per-student spending level, with math improvement the most important opportunity.
