A-minus rated Mead School District

Five Mile Prairie, 7 miles from Downtown Spokane, is known for its school district. “One of the most important features,” says Shane Bangle, real estate agent and owner of The Manna Group. “is the Mead School District.” The district is listed as the best in Spokane and receives an A-minus rating from Niche. The area itself is growing, with lots of new construction planned. “It used to be not so populated,” says Bangle. “There were farms and normal agriculture. Because of its location and views, there is much more residential development. The area is on a bluff, so there are homes that have spectacular views.” The CAP Index crime tracking database gives this neighborhood a 2 out of 10, with the national average being 4.
