Summary

Ruben Trejo Dual Language Academy is a K-8 public school serving 275 students in Spokane, Washington, as part of the Spokane School District, and it stands out for its effective dual-language program and strong academic performance relative to its resources.

The school consistently outperforms its district averages in English Language Arts and performs near state averages in math and science, with particularly strong results in the early grades. It is notably effective for its student subgroups, ranking in the 90th percentile statewide for Hispanic students and for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in recent years. A key finding is the school's resource efficiency; with a per-student spending of $10,333—significantly less than many neighbors—it achieves solid outcomes. For comparison, Libby Center, a highly-ranked school in the same district, spends more than double per student, while Frances Scott Elementary spends over $22,000 for much lower proficiency rates.

When looking at nearby schools, Ruben Trejo's profile is distinct. It serves a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (25.45%) compared to schools like Frances Scott Elementary (81.45%) and Broadway Elementary (71.28%). Its performance is strong compared to a virtual option like the West Valley Virtual Learning Center, but it does face a challenge with a noticeable drop in math proficiency in the middle school grades, an area for potential growth as students advance.
