Browne Elementary

Browne Elementary earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — placing it second among 68 public schools in Spokane and 37th out of 2,225 public schools across Washington. Outperforming 98 percent of the state puts Browne in rare company for a public elementary school. Student growth is the school's defining strength.

A 9.7 out of 10 growth score means students at Browne are advancing academically at a rate that outpaces nearly every peer school in Washington. Academic achievement rounds out at 8.5 out of 10, reflecting consistent, grade-by-grade performance from prekindergarten through fifth grade rather than a strong result in a single cohort. The school serves 325 students with a 13.5-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

Browne is a regular public school — not a charter or alternative program — meaning its rankings reflect outcomes across a general student population. That context makes its statewide standing more significant. For parents comparing Spokane's public elementary options, the combination of high academic scores, strong student growth, and manageable class sizes makes Browne one of the city's most competitive elementary choices.
