Summary

East Valley Middle School is a public school serving 394 students in grades 7 and 8 in Spokane Valley, part of the East Valley School District (Spokane).

The school serves a community with significant economic need, with about 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, yet it shows a promising and dramatic upward trend, improving its statewide ranking from the 16th to the 39th percentile in just one year. While its test scores in English, math, and science are below the Washington state average, they are closer to the average for its own district, and the school appears to be achieving better-than-expected results given the socioeconomic challenges its students face. Notably, it spends more per student—over $21,000—than all nearby comparison schools, including higher-performing ones like Horizon Middle School and Selkirk Middle School, and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1.

When compared to other local schools with similar student populations, such as Shaw Middle School or North Pines Middle School, East Valley Middle School generally achieves higher academic proficiency. However, the school faces clear challenges, particularly in supporting its Special Education students, whose performance has historically been very low. The recent improvements suggest positive changes may be taking hold, but the school's performance has been volatile in the past, so it remains to be seen if this progress will continue.
