The school itself has a huge problem with bathrooms. Many stalls don't have locks, sinks that barely work or don't work at all. The classrooms themselves are very nice and the layout of the school is very easy to figure out. The teachers are all nice from my experience but there are definitely some teachers I would not want to have had and a teacher that I had to drop her class due to her treatment. But overall the school is nice and I would let my children go there in the future.

Nice school. Amazing sport programs, teachers and incredible engineering program. Best student community in the town as an old international student from the school I always felt welcome and surrounded by good people.

I would like to see the department of para educators changed. Everyone at our school has witnessed encounters of student teacher verbal abuse and mistreating. I would like to see music departments actually grow and support everyone.

I recently graduated from this high school and I could not have asked for a better high school or education that prepared me for college. The teachers are amazing and the environment is safe. There are a limited amount of classes offered, but what they do teach, they teach well.

As is true of the district as a whole, the students aren't motivated to learn, the teachers aren't motivated to teach, and the admin is detached from reality when it comes to academic success. Take, for example, the fact that Mt. Spokane HS has over 30 valedictor...

I graduated from Mt. Spokane several years ago. As a student, I was pushed by my teachers to take AP classes, participate in STEM classes, and pursue my love of music. Every student was expected to achieve, and those who didn't got a lot of after school help. At this school, it was possible to succe...
