Summary

Browne Elementary is a public school in north Spokane serving 316 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade through the Spokane School District. The school serves a relatively high-need community, with 61.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. Its student-teacher ratio was 15.3, and per-student spending was $21,566 in 2023–24. Browne is a practical option for families seeking a neighborhood elementary school with performance that is stronger than most nearby traditional schools, even though it ranks around the middle statewide.

In 2025–26, Browne ranked 595th out of 1,138 Washington schools, around the 48th percentile. Its students were 50% proficient in English language arts, 46% in math and 44.44% in science. Browne exceeded the nearby-school average in ELA and math by about 8 percentage points and outperformed the district in both subjects. It ranked below nearby Balboa Elementary, Westview Elementary and Indian Trail Elementary, but ahead of schools such as Audubon Elementary, Willard Elementary, Madison Elementary and Linwood Elementary.

The clearest strength is third grade: ELA proficiency was 68.63% and math proficiency was 76.47%. Results dropped sharply in later grades, however, reaching 40% ELA and 24.44% math in fifth grade. This makes upper-grade math the school’s biggest academic concern. Science is another improvement area, with Browne below district, state and nearby-school averages in 2025–26. Browne has improved substantially from about the 29th percentile in 2018–19, but its current results remain uneven. Westview Elementary is a particularly useful local comparison: it is nearby, similarly sized and serves a comparable student population, yet had stronger results in all three tested subjects.
