Summary
Rogers High School is a public grades 9–12 school in the Spokane School District, serving 1,498 students in a relatively high-need area, where 77.7% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The school’s 91.0% graduation rate is a clear strength: it is above the district’s 90.3% and Washington’s 82.6%. Graduation has remained fairly steady, between 90.2% and 91.4% over the past five reported years. However, Rogers ranked in the 17th percentile statewide in 2025–26, so its strong graduation results do not reflect equally strong academic proficiency.
Academic performance is Rogers’ biggest challenge, particularly in math. In 2025–26, 39.21% of students met standards in English language arts, 16.15% in math, and 34.88% in science. Math proficiency has remained between 14.66% and 17.42% for four years, while ELA has declined from 49.59% in 2022–23. Science has improved from 27.72% over the same period, though it remains below district and state averages. Rogers’ dropout rate was 7.4%, better than the state’s 9.8% but higher than the district’s 5.6%. The school also reports relatively competitive staffing and spending, with a 16.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio and $20,000 in per-student spending.
Among nearby large comprehensive schools, Rogers is academically behind North Central High School, which posted 57.56% ELA, 44.97% math, and 48.87% science proficiency, along with a 93.8% graduation rate. Results are closer to Shadle Park High School, although Rogers had lower proficiency in all three subjects and a higher graduation rate, 91.0% versus 88.8%. The central takeaway for families is that Rogers appears more successful at helping students earn diplomas than at ensuring strong mastery of tested subjects. Sustained attention to math, renewed ELA improvement, and targeted support for students with weaker outcomes will be important priorities.
