Students over time
1,134 students in 2025–26, 24% more than in 2015–16 (912).
What this means
Students enrolled each school year, as reported to OSPI. Here “%” is a percent change in the number of students, not percentage points. The chart starts at zero so a small change does not look like a big drop. What do these numbers mean?

Spending per student
$17,418 per student in 2024–25, $1,923 less than the Washington average.
What this means
Money spent on each student in one school year ($14,055 state, $2,857 local, $506 federal): teachers, staff, programs and services, not building construction or debt payments. Small districts and those serving more students who need extra help usually spend more per student. More spending is not a rating. What do these numbers mean?

How to read these numbers
- Reading (ELA), math and science show the share of tested students who met the state standard on Washington’s tests (2025–26). The small number after each result is the difference from the state average, in percentage points (+ above, − below).
- Student growth is the median student growth percentile: 50 is typical growth for students who started at a similar level. Above 50 means students gained more than similar students statewide.
- Low-income is the share of students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Test results track family income closely, so compare schools that serve similar students.
- Numbers describe all students as a group. They are one piece of the picture: visit, talk to families and teachers, and check the official OSPI Report Card. Understanding school data explains every measure in plain language.
