Summary

Ruben Trejo Dual Language Academy is a public K–8 school in Spokane, Washington, serving 275 students in a dual-language setting within the Spokane School District. Its 2025–2026 statewide ranking was 364th of 1,138 schools, placing it in the 68th percentile and above the statewide midpoint.

The school’s clearest academic strengths are English language arts and science. In 2025–2026, 69.62% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 48.23% in the district and 52.81% statewide. Science proficiency was 63.27%, also well above the district’s 48.27% and the state’s 50.95%. ELA results were especially strong in grades 4, 5, and 7, while 5th-grade science reached 70%. Mathematics was positive overall at 44.30%, slightly above both the district and state, but less consistent by grade. Fifth-grade math was 26.67% and 7th-grade math was 33.33%, while 8th-grade math was a standout at 57.89%. Results for 6th- and 8th-grade ELA and 8th-grade science were suppressed, so those outcomes are unknown rather than indicators of weak performance.

Ruben Trejo improved substantially from the prior year, gaining 11.60 points in ELA, 4.15 points in math, and 15.27 points in science. Its Hispanic-student effectiveness ranking was in the 82nd percentile statewide, and its low-income-student subgroup ranked in the 62nd percentile. Among nearby schools, Sunrise Elementary was the strongest overall local benchmark, ranking in the 87th percentile with especially strong math and science results. Ruben Trejo ranked ahead of Lincoln Heights Elementary, Broadway Elementary, Ness Elementary, Orchard Center Elementary, University Elementary School, and Seth Woodard Elementary in the current statewide rankings. Overall, it appears to offer strong literacy and science outcomes, with math consistency the main area for improvement.
