Summary

Westview Elementary is a public prekindergarten-through-fifth-grade school in Spokane, serving 328 students in a neighborhood near several other elementary schools. Located at 3520 W. Bismark, it is part of the Spokane School District, which ranks around the statewide midpoint. Westview ranks 332nd of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 71st percentile with four stars. Its student-teacher ratio is 13.4:1, and approximately 69.82% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, indicating that the school serves a relatively high-need community.

Westview’s strongest academic areas are math and science. In 2025–2026, 57.67% of students were proficient in math and 64.00% in science, compared with 39.62% and 48.27%, respectively, across the Spokane district. English language arts proficiency was 54.27%, also above district and state results. Among nearby Spokane schools, Westview ranked second in math and ELA behind Balboa Elementary, and third in science behind Balboa and Indian Trail Elementary. It substantially outperformed Finch Elementary, Browne Elementary, Ridgeview Elementary, Madison Elementary, Willard Elementary, and Linwood Elementary.

The data suggest that Westview is particularly effective for students from low-income households: this subgroup ranked in the 95th percentile statewide, earning five stars. However, its special education subgroup ranked in the 22nd percentile, making special education outcomes an important area to monitor. Third-grade ELA was another concern at 41.18%, while fourth- and fifth-grade ELA results were considerably stronger. Westview’s results also compare favorably with nearby Prairie View Elementary, although Prairie View had higher ELA and math results, and it trails Skyline Elementary, a much higher-ranked school in the Mead School District. Overall, Westview stands out as a strong, improving school, especially in math and science, while third-grade literacy and special education support deserve focused attention.

First-hand Documentation of criminal harassment, mob mentality, intimidation, gangland, vandalism, graffiti, littering, burn markings, and a dangerous antisocial environment that is not safe for anybody. Keep your kids and those you care about safe and away from this "school". This is what happens to you if you are minding your own business and you walk down a street associated with this "school".
