Summary

Riverside High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 432 students in Chattaroy, a community northeast of Spokane, within the Riverside School District. The school has been improving: it ranks 121st of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 69th percentile, up from the 54th percentile in 2023–2024. Nearly half of students, 46.76%, qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, so the school serves a relatively mixed-income community.

Academically, the school’s clearest strength is English language arts (ELA). In 2025–2026, 67.39% of students were proficient, well above the 52.81% statewide rate. Science was also above average at 55.26%, compared with 50.95% statewide, although science results have declined from 66.98% in 2022–2023. Mathematics is the main concern: 34.09% of students were proficient, about 9 percentage points below the state and roughly 10 points below the district. That result trails Mead Senior High School, Lakeside High School, and Mt Spokane High School, but is close to Deer Park High School and substantially higher than Rogers High School.

Graduation is a major positive: 95.1% of students graduated in 2024–2025, well above the 82.6% statewide rate and higher than the latest rates at Lakeside, Mead Senior, Mt Spokane, and Rogers. The school also compares favorably in staffing, with 18.4 students per teacher in 2024–2025, an improvement over prior years. Overall, Riverside combines strong student persistence, above-state ELA and science performance, and encouraging results for lower-income students. Raising math achievement while maintaining its high graduation rate appears to be the most important opportunity for further improvement.
