DISHMAN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL

Dishman Hills High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the West Valley School District (Spokane) school district, located in Spokane, WA with about 318 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 13 teachers, Dishman Hills High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 24:1. 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.

Dishman Hills High School is an alternative educational institution located in Spokane, Washington, operating under the West Valley School District. Designed for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school environment, the school focuses on providing a personalized, flexible approach to learning. By offering a smaller setting and individualized instruction, Dishman Hills aims to help students overcome academic or personal barriers, earn their high school diplomas, and prepare for life after graduation.

The school emphasizes a supportive culture that prioritizes student-teacher relationships and credit recovery. Because it is part of the West Valley School District, it leverages district resources while maintaining its own unique mission to re-engage students who need a different pace or style of education. Whether students are looking to accelerate their progress or require a more focused, modular learning structure, Dishman Hills serves as a vital resource for the community, ensuring that all students have an accessible pathway to success.
