Riverside High School

Nestled in the small community of Chattaroy, just north of Spokane, Riverside High School offers a rural setting with surprisingly solid academics — particularly in English and Science, where it ranks in the upper third of Washington high schools. It's a good fit for families who want a tight-knit school environment away from the bustle of the city, where kids tend to know their teachers and classmates well. The surrounding area has a quiet, semi-rural character that appeals to families who prefer wide-open spaces over suburban sprawl, while still being close enough to Spokane for access to bigger-city amenities.
