Summary:

ZIP code 99224 has one listed high school: Alternative Tamarack School, an alternative program in the Spokane area serving students in grades 7–12. Because it is the only school in the ZIP code and enrolls just 10 students, there are no within-area school comparisons. Its small size and alternative designation are important when interpreting enrollment, spending, student-teacher ratio, and other statistics.

Alternative Tamarack School provides a highly individualized setting, with a reported student-teacher ratio of 10:1. The school’s 10 students are spread across grades 7 through 12, so it is not structured like a typical large 9–12 high school. About 30% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that some students qualify for an economic-need program. With such a small enrollment, one student represents 10% of the school, meaning percentages can change significantly from year to year and detailed information may be limited.

Reported spending was $17,886 per student for 2023–2024. This relatively high figure may reflect the fixed staffing, facility, transportation, and support costs associated with operating a specialized program for very few students; it should not be viewed as a direct measure of school quality. The school is part of Spokane School District, which is listed at 118th of 238 districts, around the 50th percentile, with a three-star rating. Those are district-level measures rather than direct results for Alternative Tamarack. Overall, the available information describes a very small, specialized school that may appeal to families seeking a more individualized educational environment.
