My son, who has high-functioning autism, never got more than C's, D's, and F's before attending City School (a project-based middle school--which I also give 5 stars). Now in high school at Spokane Valley High, he is getting A's and B's! Project-based education is miles above traditional education! If you want the very best for your child, choose project-based schools. :-)

Only one teacher was good at communicating to me, the parent, and he's no longer teaching there. I thought the smaller classroom size would be a plus, but didn't find that to be so. The head secretary was very good at returning my calls and caring about my concerns/questions. My son did not learn math for the 2 1/2 years he attended there, even though I addressed my concern on several occasions. I did not receive ANY communication from any teachers regarding conferences, grades, etc from September 2013 to December 2013 at which time my son quit attending. The school has some nice functions that families are welcome to attend, and they have a great plant sale in May. But it seems they did not like my "troublesome" student and didn't really work with me or my husband very well to come up with a solution that would work to keep him in school. It's too bad, because they do have some nice features, such as the greenhouse, cafe' and projects class which are different from the big high schools, and their graduation ceremony is very personal and nice compared to any other high school graduation I've attended. They seem to care about most of the students.

I always hated school before I attended Spokane Valley High school. I have met some of the best people of my life, and learned so many things that have really helped me throughout my life so far. before I came to SVHS I was a sophmore with no credits for high school, now here I am on track to graduate with all of my necessary credits for the school year. I love this school with all of my heart. It truely is a home away from home, and a second family that will stick by you no matter what happens.
