Summary:

Two middle schools serve grades 6-8 in Spokane's 99212 zip code, both part of the West Valley School District (Spokane), a district ranked in the bottom half of the state.

West Valley City School stands out as the higher-performing school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 72nd percentile statewide after a dramatic improvement in the last year. It significantly outperforms both district and state averages in English, math, and science. In contrast, Centennial Middle School has a 1-star rating, ranks in the 21st percentile, and has test scores below district and state averages, a pattern consistent over the last three years.

Interestingly, West Valley City achieves these stronger results while spending about $4,000 less per student and having more students per teacher than Centennial. The gap in science scores is especially wide, with West Valley City students proficient at more than double the rate of Centennial students. For parents, this comparison highlights two very different academic environments within the same neighborhood and district.
