All are part of Spokane School District, which receives a three-star rating and ranks near the middle of Washington districts. Overall, schools in this area perform well above both district and state averages, especially in math and science.

Its proficiency rates are 72.85%, 79.05%, and 88.71%, respectively.

Hamblen ranks in the 75th percentile and is strongest in science, while Jefferson ranks in the 74th percentile and has shown improvement in ELA and math. Parents may want to monitor Hutton’s recent ELA decline, Jefferson’s science decline, and Hamblen’s comparatively lower ELA and math results. Wilson’s Grade 3 and Grade 4 math data are suppressed for privacy, not indicators of low performance.
