Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99016

The 99016 zip code area in Central Valley School District is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and no high schools or alternative schools. The standout schools in this area are Selkirk Middle School and Greenacres Middle School, which are both ranked in the top 25% of Washington middle schools and have strong performance on state assessments, outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.

Among the elementary schools, Greenacres Elementary and Riverbend Elementary also stand out, with above-average test scores in both subjects. However, the virtual school, Central Valley Virtual Learning, and the smaller Spokane Valley Learning Academy have lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. The data suggests a potential correlation between higher free and reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance in these schools.

Overall, the schools in the 99016 zip code area have a predominantly white student population, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The significant variation in spending per student, from $8,272 to $19,458, also suggests potential differences in resource allocation and funding across the schools within the Central Valley School District.
