MEAD ALTERNATIVE HIGH SCHOOL

Mead Alternative High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Mead School District school district, located in SPOKANE, WA with about 84 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 6 teachers, Mead Alternative High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Mead Alternative High School, located on W. Hastings Road in Spokane, Washington, serves as a specialized educational environment within the Mead School District. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting, the institution focuses on providing a personalized approach to learning. By offering smaller class sizes and a more flexible structure, the school aims to help students overcome academic or personal obstacles, recover credits, and stay on track toward high school graduation.

The school is dedicated to fostering a supportive, student-centered culture that emphasizes individual growth and long-term success. Beyond core academic requirements, Mead Alternative High School provides resources and mentorship tailored to meet the unique needs of its student body. By bridging the gap between traditional instruction and alternative pathways, the school plays a vital role in ensuring that all students in the district have access to a quality education and the tools necessary for their post-secondary futures.
