Summary

Browne Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-5) serving about 316 students in Spokane, WA, as part of the Spokane School District, and it currently ranks in the middle range of schools statewide with a 2-star rating.

Academically, the school shows a particular strength in math, where its proficiency rate exceeds both district and state averages, and it performs notably better than other nearby schools with similar levels of student economic need, such as Audubon Elementary and Willard Elementary. However, performance can vary significantly by grade level, with strong results in some grades and room for improvement in others. The school's effectiveness with different student groups also varies, and its statewide ranking has seen a recent decline after several years of fluctuation.

When looking at the broader area, two schools stand out for high performance: Westview Elementary and Balboa Elementary consistently rank in the top quartile of the state, achieving strong results while also serving student populations with considerable economic need, suggesting there are successful models for achievement nearby. Browne Elementary spends a mid-range amount per student compared to these and other local schools like Madison Elementary and Finch Elementary.
