Data Displays and Maps

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 Heat Map

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 Map

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.

Proposed Federal Cuts to K–12 Education Map

The proposed federal cuts to K–12 education data display shows the amount in proposed federal cuts (included in the federal budget proposal released on May 30th, 2025) per full-time equivalent (FTE) student in each of Washington’s 295 school districts. The map uses color gradients to indicate levels of potential federal funding cuts, with darker shades representing larger cuts per student and lighter shades representing smaller cuts. Hovering over each school district will show the district's FTE enrollment for the 2023–24 school year, the total amount of federal cuts proposed (using fiscal data from the 2023–24 school year), and the federal cuts per FTE student (using fiscal data from the 2023–24 school year).

Local Effort Assistance (LEA) Funding Map

Local Effort Assistance (LEA) is state funding provided to eligible school districts to match voter-approved enrichment levies. This funding helps districts with high tax rates due to low property values, often referred to as "property poor" communities, which struggle to pass levies at the maximum rate. To qualify for LEA, communities must pass a local levy of at least $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The LEA funding data display shows the estimated LEA funding per full-time equivalent (FTE) student for the 2025–26 school year. The map uses color gradients to indicate funding levels, with lighter shades representing lower funding and darker shades representing higher funding. Hovering over a district on the map reveals its estimated FTE enrollment, total LEA funding, and LEA funding per FTE student.

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.

Special Education Funding Increase Map

Senate Bill 5263, passed in 2025, made significant changes to the special education funding system in Washington state. The bill increased the K–12 multiplier used to allocate additional funds for each student receiving special education services and removed the artificial cap on funding for students with disabilities. All of Washington’s 295 school districts, along with its 18 charter schools and 7 tribal compact schools, experienced an increase in special education funding as a result of this legislation. The map shows the percentage increase in special education funding for each school district, using color gradients to indicate levels of funding increases.
