Summary

Lake Spokane Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 461 students in the Nine Mile Falls School District, a highly-rated district in the Spokane area.

The school is on a strong upward trend, improving from a 2-star to a 4-star rating since 2019 and now outperforming state averages in English, math, and science. A key strength is its exceptional support for students from lower-income families, where it ranks even higher than its overall strong performance. Compared to nearby schools like Brentwood Elementary School or Nine Mile Falls Elementary, which have seen recent drops in their rankings, Lake Spokane's progress has been steady and consistent.

Lake Spokane operates very efficiently, achieving these solid results with lower per-student spending than several comparable schools. While it faces a specific challenge with a significant drop in 5th-grade math scores—a pattern also seen across the district—its overall record of improvement, cost-effectiveness, and strong support for all students makes it a compelling choice. It may not be the absolute highest-ranked school in the region, but it offers a reliable and effective educational environment for the community.
