School Overview

PRIDE Prep (Program Relevant Integrated Development & Education) was a public charter school located in the University District of Spokane, Washington. Founded on the mission of providing a personalized, project-based learning environment, the school aimed to bridge achievement gaps by focusing on college and career readiness. It utilized a blended learning model, integrating technology with small-group instruction to tailor the curriculum to the individual pace and interests of its students, primarily serving middle schoolers in the local area.

However, it is important to note that the school is no longer in operation. PRIDE Prep faced significant financial and operational challenges, leading to its closure in 2020. The school’s dissolution sparked broader community and state-level discussions regarding the oversight and sustainability of charter schools in Washington, marking a notable chapter in the region’s educational landscape.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
