Summary

Seth Woodard Elementary is a K–5 school with 262 students in Spokane, serving families in the West Valley School District (Spokane) area. The school ranks 493rd out of 1,138 Washington elementary schools, placing it in the 57th percentile with a three-star rating. About 67% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.3 to 1. Nearby schools include several other West Valley schools, as well as schools in Spokane and Central Valley districts, offering useful comparison points.

The most important story is Seth Woodard’s recent improvement. Its ranking rose from the 23rd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 57th percentile currently, while proficiency increased by about 15 to 17 percentage points in English language arts, math, and science. In 2025–2026, Seth Woodard exceeded its district in all three subjects: 51.18% were proficient in ELA, 48.82% in math, and 54.76% in science. Math and science were also above state averages, while ELA was close to the state level. Compared with nearby Pasadena Park Elementary, Seth Woodard had stronger ELA and math results; it was close to Orchard Center Elementary and Ness Elementary, with different subject-by-subject strengths.

Results vary by grade. Fifth grade is a clear strength, exceeding state averages in both ELA and math, while fourth grade is the main opportunity for improvement because its ELA and math results were below state levels. Seth Woodard also compares favorably with Cooper Elementary and Frances Scott Elementary, but trails the nearby high-performing Sunrise Elementary, which ranks in the 87th percentile. Overall, Seth Woodard appears to be an improving, middle-performing school with particularly encouraging math, science, and low-income student outcomes.
