Data Displays

Districts share information with OSPI that goes beyond what is shown on Washington State Report Card. Our data teams look at these additional data points and create displays for stakeholders to dive deeper into Washington K12 data. Each selection below houses a data display, a link to the data used for download, and context to help users understand the data better.

Federal Funding

Having a complete picture of each district’s federal investments is important as we navigate complex conversations around school funding.

The federal funding data display shows federal funding as a percentage of total K–12 funding in the 2023–24 school year, with one-time federal emergency relief funds (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds, American Rescue Plan funds, etc.) removed. School districts shown in green receive federal funds below the statewide average of 6.95%, while those shown in red receive federal funds above the statewide average. Hovering over each school district will show the district's exact percentage, as well as their total federal funding and federal funding per student, with one-time federal funds removed.

Transition to Kindergarten

Transition to Kindergarten (TK) is a legislatively established and authorized program for children who are at least 4 years old by August 31. TK is offered in many public schools and local education agencies (LEAs) across Washington. The map below shows the TK enrollment from February 2025 by LEAs and schools, county, Educational Service District (ESD), and legislative district. 

The TK enrollment headcount shown on this map is as reported by LEAs using P223 Monthly Report of Enrollment Eligible for Basic Support. ESD, LEA, and school details are sourced from the OSPI Education Directory. Population data are sourced from NCES. The TK contact names and emails shown for schools have been provided to OSPI’s TK team by LEAs.

• For more information about TK, including monthly TK enrollment headcount, see the OSPI TK webpage. 
• For questions about P223 and headcount enrollment, please see Enrollment Reporting or contact OSPI School Apportionment at safs@k12.wa.us.
• For more on how enrollment is used in OSPI’s data systems, see this Enrollment FAQ.

School Meals Funding

The school meals funding data display shows school meals federal funding per FTE student in the 2023–24 school year, with one-time federal emergency relief funds removed. The map is colored from lighter shades to darker shades, showing a smaller reliance on federal funding per FTE student to a larger reliance, respectively. Hovering over each school district will show the district's total federal funding, federal funding per FTE student, federal funding as a percent of total funding, total state funding, state funding per FTE student, and state funding as a percent of total funding, all with one-time emergency funds removed.

Title IA & LAP Funding

Title I, Part A is a federal program that provides customized instruction to help students meet academic standards and close educational opportunity gaps. The Washington state Legislature supports this by providing additional funds through the Learning Assistance Program (LAP). The funding data display for the 2023–24 school year shows the total Title IA and LAP funding per FTE student, with detailed information available for each school district.

Fiscal FTE Enrollment

The P223 Enrollment dashboard shows the enrollment data reported by all Washington Local Education Agencies (LEAs), which is used to calculate funding based on a state formula. LEAs report student enrollment monthly from September to June using headcount and full-time equivalent (FTE) figures at the school level. Most funding is based on the annual average FTE, while special education and bilingual programs use the average headcount from October to June.

For more on how enrollment is used in OSPI’s data systems, see this FAQ.

Fiscal Levy Collections

The Fiscal Levy dashboard illustrates the estimated tax revenue and state supplemental Local Effort Assistance (LEA) for each school district. Before House Bill 2242 was passed in 2017, school districts had a maintenance and operations (M&O) levy limited by a levy lid law. With the new bill, starting in 2019, the M&O levy was redefined as an "enrichment levy," with a maximum amount of $2,500 per pupil or $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, whichever is less, adjusted annually by inflation.

Enrichment levies, also known as Excess General Fund levies, are used for funding school operations for one to four years. LEA is state money given to eligible districts to match voter-approved excess General Fund levies, helping districts with above-average tax rates due to low property valuations. To qualify for LEA funding, a district must have a minimum voter-approved levy of $1.50 per $1,000 assessed property valuation and generate less than $1,500 per pupil from this levy, adjusted annually by inflation.

Graduation Pathways

House Bill 1599 (2019) expanded how Washington students can develop their course plans and show their preparation for a meaningful first step after high school. Beginning with the Class of 2020, students must fulfill the pathway requirement to graduate, aligning with their High School and Beyond Plan.

The Graduation Pathways Guide details how students could "meet" their graduation pathway.
