What this means

“Met standard” is the share of tested students who scored at grade level or above. Points are percentage points: 50% to 60% is 10 points. Regular attendance means missing fewer than 2 days a month. Test results closely follow family income, so compare districts that serve similar students. What do these numbers mean?

What this means

Each dot is one school (hover or tap for its name). Dots far apart mean results differ a lot between schools. Small schools can sit far from the others just because few students took the tests. What do these numbers mean?

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

$17,971 per student in 2024–25, $1,370 less than the Washington average.

  • This district$17,971
  • Washington$19,341
What this means

Money spent on each student in one school year ($15,449 state, $1,331 local, $1,191 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?
