Summary:
ZIP code 99224 includes four schools serving grades pre-K through 12: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one small high-school alternative program. The schools serve about 1,227 students, with nearly all enrollment concentrated at Westwood Middle School and Windsor Elementary in Cheney School District. There is no conventional comprehensive high school listed in the ZIP code, so families should consider how students will transition after middle school.
Windsor Elementary has the strongest overall academic results. In 2025–2026, 48.29% of students were proficient in English language arts, 44.53% in math, and 54.46% in science. It exceeded its district in all three subjects and surpassed the statewide math and science rates. However, scores and statewide ranking have declined in recent years, and fifth-grade math is a notable concern: only 26.73% of fifth graders met the standard, compared with 59.49% in third grade and 51.76% in fourth grade. Westwood Middle School has a mixed profile. Its science proficiency, at 51.06%, was slightly above the state rate, but ELA and math were about 13 percentage points below statewide results. Eighth grade performed best within the school, though its math results still trailed the state.
Great Northern Elementary in Great Northern School District enrolls only 44 students, so its results may change substantially from year to year. Its reported ELA proficiency was 38.89% and math proficiency was 22.22%; many other figures are suppressed and should be treated as unavailable, not as zero. Alternative Tamarack School in Spokane School District serves just 10 students in grades 7–12 and has no reported test scores, making direct academic comparisons inappropriate. Overall, Windsor is the area’s strongest option by available results, Westwood’s main needs are ELA and math, and the two very small schools require careful interpretation of limited data.
