Summary

Audubon Elementary is a PK–5 school in Spokane, near W. Carlisle Avenue, serving 398 students in the Spokane School District.

Audubon’s academic results are well below district, state, and most nearby schools. For 2025–26, it ranked in the 7th statewide percentile, compared with the district’s 50th percentile, and earned a SchoolDigger rating of 0 stars. Proficiency was 23.42% in English language arts, 18.87% in math, and 24.53% in science. Math is the clearest concern: proficiency fell from 30.19% in third grade to 13.21% in both fourth and fifth grade. Science also dropped sharply, from 44.26% in 2024–25 to 24.53% in 2025–26. Audubon’s results are lower than those at nearby Garfield Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, Finch Elementary, and Ridgeview Elementary. It is closer to Holmes Elementary and generally stronger than Logan Elementary, though Logan’s fifth-grade math result is suppressed and should not be interpreted as zero.

The school serves a high-need population: 85.18% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. At the same time, Audubon’s 11.9:1 student-teacher ratio is among the most favorable in the comparison group, and its per-student spending is close to the local average. This suggests that the key questions may involve how resources are used, including attendance support, teacher stability, small-group instruction, intervention quality, and consistency across grade levels. Fifth-grade ELA, at 28.85%, is a modest relative bright spot, but it remains below district and state levels. Overall, families should expect a school with supportive staffing conditions but persistent academic challenges and limited evidence of sustained improvement.

My daughter really loves attending Audubon. She isn't bullied and the teachers all seem to know the kids. This is the first year she doesnt argue with us about going to school or make up being sick because of the lack of attention that they were paying to the bullying situation at her last school that i shall leave undisclosed.

My son attended Kindergarten and First Grade here and he really enjoyed his experience. The principal and the staff really care about the students and spent time problem solving with us and making sure every one was working toward the same clear goals. The PTA works really hard to provide good experiences for the kids and their families, but could really use some extra familial support, as that is not a strong area here. I was never concerned about the safety or security of my son while he attended, the school contact was prompt when he had an accidental injury. They also called to check in very early in the day when he was accidentally marked absent and they had not been notified of an absence. Overall I would recommend this school. Close Quote
