Summary

Spokane Valley High School is a small public high school serving 229 students in grades 9-12 within the West Valley School District (Spokane), which ranks in the lower half of districts statewide.

Academic performance at the school has been a significant challenge, with its statewide ranking falling from the 28th percentile to the 12th percentile over the last five years, and it currently holds a 1-star rating. Proficiency in mathematics is critically low at 10.5%, far below district and state averages, though recent years have shown a promising rise in graduation rates to 86.1% and a drop in the dropout rate to 4.2%. The school serves a population where over 60% of students are economically disadvantaged, and it operates with a student-teacher ratio of 22.3 to 1, which is higher than several nearby schools.

When compared to other schools, West Valley High School in the same district receives about 28% more funding per student and has a much higher graduation rate. The stark contrast with the highly-ranked Stem Academy at SVT in the neighboring Central Valley School District highlights differences in resources and student demographics. While smaller high schools like Mica Peak High School show varied results, Spokane Valley High School's trajectory suggests a need for targeted academic support and consistent resources to build on its recent success in keeping students in school.
