Best High Schools in Zip Code 99201

ZIP code 99201 has one high school, Open Doors, serving grades 9–12 in central Spokane; it is a small school with 145 students and serves an area where many students may need additional academic and financial support.

Open Doors stands out for its small size and high level of economic need: 80% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25. The school reported per-student spending of $10,385 in 2023–24, but comparable figures for other schools or the state were not provided. Its student-teacher ratio, current school-specific graduation rate, and current school-specific dropout rate are also unavailable. Because this is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local school-to-school comparisons. Families should also keep in mind that smaller schools can show larger year-to-year changes because the outcomes of a relatively small number of students can significantly affect percentages.

The available current performance information describes the broader Spokane School District, rather than Open Doors specifically. In 2024–25, the district’s graduation rate was 90.3%, above Washington’s 82.6%, while its dropout rate was 5.6%, below the state’s 9.8%. Historical school-level figures for Open Doors from 2017–18 showed a 5.6% graduation rate and a 63.3% dropout rate, but these older figures should not be treated as a measure of current performance or directly compared with today’s district results. Open Doors may serve students with different enrollment histories and needs than a traditional high school. The most important information still needed is updated school-specific data on graduation, attendance, dropout rates, academic progress, and postsecondary outcomes.
