The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There are tons of classes to choose from to accommodating students of everything. Great students and team spirit. Location isn't great as it's in downtown so there's homeless people. We also have to pay for parking and people have broken and damaged cars in their parking lots.

I am the parent of an incoming freshman at this school. I also have teens at another Spokane high school as well as at a Spokane Valley high school.
