Summary:
ZIP code 99181 has one high school, Valley EDGE High School Academy, serving grades 9–12 in the rural Valley area; the school enrolls 23 students and is part of the Valley School District. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons. Its very small size is the defining feature: families can expect a small-school setting, but percentages and ratings may change significantly when only a few students’ outcomes change.
Valley EDGE High School Academy reports a 3.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, 23 students, and $57,812 in per-student spending for 2023–2024. These figures suggest a highly individualized environment and substantial spending per student, although the high spending may partly reflect the fixed costs of operating a very small school. More than half of students—56.52%—were identified as eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. The school reported an 84.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for 2021–2022. Those are encouraging results, but they come from a small population and different years than the available state and district comparison figures, so parents should avoid treating them as guarantees of future outcomes.
The school’s latest reported ranking was 105th out of 238, placing it at the 56th percentile with a three-star rating. Its listed ranking position has improved from earlier years, although the comparison groups changed, making long-term comparisons imperfect. School-level test scores in English language arts, math, and science are suppressed to protect privacy, so there is not enough information to judge the school’s academic proficiency directly. District results provide context: Valley School District trailed Washington in 2025–2026, particularly in math, but those figures should not be assumed to represent this school. Overall, the school appears best suited to families seeking a very small, potentially personalized high school environment, while its academic test performance remains unknown.
