Summary

Pasadena Park Elementary is a public K–5 school in Spokane, Washington, serving 362 students on Upriver Drive as part of West Valley School District (Spokane). The school has a moderate 16.2:1 student-to-teacher ratio and serves a relatively economically mixed population compared with many nearby schools. For 2025–2026, it ranks at the 48th percentile statewide, down from the 57th percentile the year before, placing it in the middle range of Washington schools.

Academic results are mixed by subject. In 2025–2026, 45.37% of students were proficient in English language arts, 45.37% in math, and 56.67% in science. Science is the clearest strength: Pasadena Park exceeded both district and state results and had the highest science proficiency among nearby traditional West Valley elementary schools. Math also remained above district and state averages, despite falling 7.03 percentage points from the previous year. ELA declined by 5.11 points and is the school’s weakest area. Fourth grade deserves particular attention, with proficiency of 42.11% in ELA and 40.79% in math. The school’s special education subgroup ranks at the 65th percentile statewide, while its low socioeconomic status subgroup ranks at the 28th percentile.

Compared with nearby West Valley schools, Pasadena Park trails Seth Woodard Elementary, Ness Elementary, and Orchard Center Elementary in both ELA and math, although it leads all three in science. Nearby Sunrise Elementary posts much higher results, but it serves a different student population and district context. Overall, Pasadena Park appears to have a solid science foundation and some effective special education supports, while its most important improvement priorities are rebuilding ELA and math performance, especially in fourth grade, and strengthening support for economically disadvantaged students.
