Summary

Ridgeview Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 301 students at 5610 N. Maple in Spokane, with several nearby elementary schools within roughly one to two miles. It is part of the Spokane School District, which ranks near the middle of Washington districts. Ridgeview serves a relatively high-need community, with 72.76% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Its 2025–26 statewide ranking places it at the 41st percentile, an improvement from the 29th percentile the previous year. The school’s student-teacher ratio is 15.7, the highest among the nearby schools reviewed.

Ridgeview’s latest results are mixed but show meaningful progress. Overall proficiency was 45.52% in English language arts, 41.67% in math, and 40% in science. Math is a relative strength: Ridgeview slightly exceeded the district average and came close to the state average, outperforming nearby Madison Elementary, Willard Elementary, Linwood Elementary, and Lidgerwood Elementary. ELA improved by nearly 6 percentage points and math by about 5 points in the latest year. Ridgeview also compares favorably with several schools serving similar or greater economic need, although Westview Elementary performs substantially better across subjects.

The most important concern is uneven performance by grade. Third grade is a clear strength, with 50% proficiency in ELA and 59.62% in math—both above district and state results. Fifth grade is much weaker, especially in math, where proficiency was 20.41%, compared with 37.78% for the district and 43.32% statewide. Fifth-grade ELA and science also trailed district results. Science is Ridgeview’s broadest weakness, at 40%, below most nearby schools, including Indian Trail Elementary, Balboa Elementary, and Westview Elementary. Overall, Ridgeview appears to be improving, particularly in ELA, math, and outcomes for low-income students, while upper-grade instruction and science remain key areas for attention.
