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.

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.
