Education in Reardan

A small town where every student is known by name.

Out in the wheat country west of Spokane, the Reardan-Edwall School District serves Reardan, Edwall, and the surrounding farms of Lincoln and western Spokane County. One campus community, small classes, and a graduating class small enough that teachers, coaches, and counselors truly know the students in front of them. This guide gathers what families need most, with direct links to the district for everything official.

The Schools

Three pathways, one community.

The district organizes learning into three settings, so a family can find the fit that suits their student rather than the other way around.

Early Grades

Reardan Elementary School

The foundational years

Small classes and familiar faces let early readers and young mathematicians build confidence at a steady pace. This is where the community’s youngest students find their footing, supported by a dedicated elementary team.

Secondary

Reardan Middle & High School

The road to graduation

The heart of student life in Reardan, carrying students to a diploma with core academics, a Highly Capable program, career and technical courses, music, athletics, and dedicated counseling support every step of the way.

Flexible Learning

The Options Program

Grades K-12, alternative

A K-12 alternative learning program for families who want something different, blending approved online courses, curriculum and support for learning at home, and an outdoor program built around monthly community service.

New Family? Start Here

Enrolling, step by step.

Whether you have just moved to the wheat country or you live nearby and want to transfer in, here is the path to a first day of school, with the district’s own forms at each step.

1

Check the boundary, or request a transfer

Families inside the district’s boundary enroll directly. If you live outside it, Washington’s Choice Transfer process lets you request to attend Reardan-Edwall. Start by confirming where your address falls.

2

Register your student

New families register online through the district’s Skyward system. Prefer paper? A printable registration packet for the 2026-27 year is posted on the district site.

3

Turn in health & immunization records

Washington requires up-to-date immunizations to start school. The district’s Health Services team handles records, medication requests, and care plans for allergies, asthma, diabetes, and more.

4

Set up the bus

Out on the farms and in town, most students ride. Register for transportation and get familiar with routes and the district’s bus app so the first morning runs smoothly.

5

Log in to Skyward Family Access

Once enrolled, Skyward Family Access is where you will follow grades, attendance, and messages from teachers. It is the day-to-day window into your student’s progress.

What Sets Reardan Apart

Room to try everything.

A small district can be a wide one. With fewer students competing for spots, more of them get to play, lead, perform, and be seen.

Challenge

Highly Capable Program

Reardan’s Highly Capable program stretches students who are ready for more, with a clear referral process open to families and teachers alike.

Recognition

National Honor Society

The district’s NHS chapter recognizes students for scholarship, leadership, service, and character, with a published selection process.

The Arts

Music Department

Band and music give students a stage and an ensemble, part of a well-rounded education that reaches well beyond the core classroom.

Hands-On

FFA & Agriculture

In a town shaped by the land, FFA turns heritage into leadership, public speaking, and the practical science of agriculture, carried well beyond the county line.

Athletics

Home of the Screaming Eagles

Reardan competes as the Screaming Eagles in the WIAA’s 2B classification. Small rosters mean more students get in the game, and recent teams have reached the state level.

Guidance

Counseling & College/Career

On-staff counseling means students are known, not lost in the crowd, with real support to plan for what comes after graduation.

4th
in the nation
A Point of Pride

Where agriculture is not an elective. It is heritage.

In 2024, a Reardan FFA team won a Washington state championship and went on to place fourth in the nation at the 97th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, competing in the Agriculture Issues Forum against state champions from across the country. In a district this size, that is the whole town’s achievement.

Looking Ahead

A rural district that is planning for growth.

Reardan-Edwall is not standing still. Through its Reardan 2030 strategic plan and an active facilities-planning effort, the district and community are working through how to care for aging buildings and make room for more students in the years ahead. It is a small district thinking seriously about its future, and families and neighbors are invited into the conversation.

Life After Reardan High

What comes next.

A Reardan diploma opens onto some of the region’s best higher education, most of it less than an hour east in the Spokane area.
