State averages: reading 53%, math 43% met standard. What do these numbers mean?
How this district compares
Reading (ELA) met standard 2025–2643% · 10 points lower than the state average (53%)
Math met standard 2025–2634% · 9 points lower than the state average (43%)
Science met standard 2025–2642% · 9 points lower than the state average (51%)
Regular attendance 2025–2669% · 5 points lower than the state average (74%)
Graduation rate 4-year 2024–2587% · 4 points higher than the state average (83%)
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?

Results at each school
Reading (ELA) met standard42 schools, from 13% to 70%
Math met standard42 schools, from 11% to 67%
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?

Students over time
25,383 students in 2025–26, 10% fewer than in 2015–16 (28,054).
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
$20,923 per student in 2024–25, $1,582 more than the Washington average.
What this means
Money spent on each student in one school year ($16,798 state, $3,310 local, $815 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?

OSPI special education determination (2024-25): Needs substantial intervention. This is OSPI’s yearly rating of how the district meets federal special education requirements; it is not a rating of individual schools. OSPI annual determinations
OSPI hides results for groups of fewer than 10 students, and some other results, to protect student privacy. Numbers are published by OSPI; this site is not part of OSPI or any government agency, and this is not legal advice.
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.
