The Spokane area's flagship suburban high school, Mead offers a wide range of programs and has terrific parent and community support. Our son has thrived here, getting into the honors program and sports in a big way, and making high-quality friends. We've found faculty smart and dedicated, and the Mead school district to be very well run.
Ethnic and economic diversity is a little lacking, but not altogether (the largest minority group is Slavic). The area community is quite religious, which is a change from larger cities where we've lived, but most here value tolerance and the schools. A great school and great area.
