What stands out at Pride Prep School

Pride Prep School is a mid-sized charter combined-grade school in Spokane, Washington, enrolling 232 students.

Classes run notably small here: at 7.3:1, Pride Prep School is leaner than roughly 97% of Washington schools and 59% under the state's 17.6:1 norm, more adult attention per pupil than most peers.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 49.4% lands close to the Washington typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 232 puts it in the smaller third of Washington schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index outscores 90% of the 2,394 Washington schools with a score on record, a top-tier result on this measure.

Against 218 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #34.

Its student body is led by White (77%) and Two or More (17%) (diversity index 38/100).

Counselor coverage is strong, about 116 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.

The surrounding Pride Prep Charter School District spends $12,867 per pupil, 34% below the Washington average, a leaner-resourced district than most.

Its district draws 17.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Spokane's public schools, it stands alongside North Central High School (1,647 students): Pride Prep School is smaller than that campus by headcount and runs leaner classes (7.3:1 vs 18.1:1).

Pride Prep Charter School District is a single-school charter district, so Pride Prep School operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
