School Overview

Michael Anderson Elementary sits on Fairchild Air Force Base just west of Spokane, serving a tight-knit military community where families rotate in and out but quickly find a school that feels like home. Science scores rank among the strongest in the state, making it a great fit for kids with a curiosity for how things work — not surprising given the aerospace culture that surrounds base life. Families stationed at Fairchild will find a school that understands the unique rhythms of military life and works hard to give every student a solid academic foundation, no matter how long they're in the area.
