Summary

Ridgeview Elementary is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school in the Spokane School District, serving about 301 students in a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academically, Ridgeview's test scores are generally below district and state averages, placing it in the lower third of Washington elementary schools. When compared to nearby schools with similar student demographics, such as Westview Elementary, Ridgeview's performance is notably lower, suggesting school-level practices significantly impact outcomes. The school spends less per student and has a higher student-to-teacher ratio than many peers like Balboa Elementary and Madison Elementary, which may affect the level of individual support available.

There are notable strengths and challenges within the school: third-grade math is a bright spot, but performance drops sharply in fourth and fifth grades. Historical data also indicates a significant need for improvement in serving special education students and in supporting female students, who are currently served less effectively than male students. The success of higher-poverty schools like Westview within the same district shows that strong academic achievement is possible, providing potential models for Ridgeview to explore in improving instruction and resource use.
