Riverpoint Academy (RA) is a four-year high school operated by the Mead School District, Spokane, Washington, United States. [2] [3] Riverpoint is a STEM School, with an enrollment of about 200 students.
The school was established in 2012 with 75 students on the then-named Riverpoint Campus (its namesake) near Downtown Spokane [4] with the vision of harnessing the synergies created with the university community, including access to university libraries, some college-level classes taught by university faculty, and mentors from the local business community. [5]
The school occupied space in the then-named Innovate Washington Building, originally the SIRTI Building, [5] and remained there for one year, before outgrowing the space and relocating to its current location within school district's attendance boundaries in the fall of 2013. [6]
On May 7, 2019, the Mead School Board approved $11.3 million in budget cuts resulting in a temporary two-year suspension, and soon thereafter, a permanent shutdown of Riverpoint Academy. [7] The budget cuts were said to be related to budget shortfalls created by the abrupt effects of the McCleary Decision that affected many school districts in Washington.
