In accordance with the Governor’s Proclamation 20-25, “Stay Home, Stay Healthy,” and to protect the health and safety of Washingtonians and our employees, at this time, there is restricted public access to the OSPI building. OSPI will continue serving the public via phone, email, and the website.
See OSPI’s COVID-19 guidance and resources for educators, students, and families.
Districts share information with OSPI that goes beyond what is hosted on Washington State Report Card. Our data team looks at these additional data points and creates displays for stakeholders that would like to dive deeper into Washington K12 data. Each selection below houses a Tableau data display, a link to the data used for download, and context to help users understand the data better.
If there are any displays you would like to see beyond what we have published, email a request to our Achievement Data team.
On March 13th, 2020, Governor Inslee closed all in-person instruction in Washington State schools due to the novel corona virus COVID-19. As out state and nation continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, OSPI is dedicated to releasing student performance data with context to help stakeholders understand these unique reports.
The following data are a snapshot of student performance from September 1st to February 28th, 2020. These data represent what was happening in schools and districts before the lockdown. These data represent the closest comparison for year to year data analysis for the 2019-2020 school year.
If you have questions about the data or need assistance navigating the data visualization, please email our Report Card team.
As our state and nation continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, Washington's schools are working closely with local health authorities to determine the right mode of instructional delivery for their community. Every week, each public school district, state-tribal education compact school, and charter school is required to submit data on their current reopening status to OSPI.
The data are posted to the OSPI website and updated weekly (each Wednesday) to reflect each district's current instructional delivery model, including which student groups they are serving through in-person learning. If you have questions about the data or need assistance navigating the data visualization, please email Achievement Data.
House Bill 1599 (HB1599) was passed in Spring 2019. The bill established graduation pathways and clarified and strengthened the role of the High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) to ensure that the activities that students engage in during their high school career align with their goals after high school. The graduation pathways are not alternatives to the high school statewide assessment, ways to track students or a compliance activity.
“The pathway options…are intended to provide a student with multiple pathways to graduating with a meaningful high school diploma that are tailored to the goals of the student. A student may choose to pursue one or more of the pathway options…but any pathway option used by a student to demonstrate career and college readiness must be in alignment with the student’s high school and beyond plan.” (HB1599)
In addition to completing at least one graduation pathway aligned with the postsecondary goals, students must also earn 24 credits and complete their High School and Beyond Plan to meet all statewide graduation requirements.
Each month during the school year, Washington’s public K12 school districts count how many students are enrolled in classes. This data tells us which communities are growing, how many students are taking advantage of alternative learning and dual credit opportunities, which areas should be thinking about building new or expanding current school buildings, and more.
The data are also used to determine the amount of state funding districts will receive to pay for the staffing, materials, technology, and other supports that help our students succeed.
