Summary

Pasadena Park Elementary is a public school serving about 360 students in grades 1 through 5 in Spokane, Washington, and is part of the West Valley School District (Spokane).

Academically, the school has notable strengths in math and science, where its students consistently outperform both the district and state averages, a key differentiator from several nearby schools like Seth Woodard Elementary and Broadway Elementary. While English Language Arts proficiency is slightly below the state average, the school provides exceptionally strong support for students from lower-income families, ranking in the top 28% of schools statewide for this group. This effective support stands out compared to other schools with similar or higher levels of economic need, such as Trent School.

The school operates efficiently, achieving these solid results with lower per-student spending than many peers in the district, such as Orchard Center Elementary. Parents may want to note that while the school's performance has been stable with a 3-star rating, there is a noticeable drop in 5th-grade proficiency scores compared to earlier grades, and a performance gap exists between male and female students. Overall, Pasadena Park is a steady, mid-performing school within its district, offering balanced academics with particular effectiveness in math, science, and supporting students in need.
