Funding

How Washington funds schools

Washington funds basic education — its constitutional “paramount duty” — through the Prototypical School Funding Model, which estimates the staff, materials and resources a hypothetical school of a given size needs, then allocates to each district by its actual enrollment against those funded ratios. Rebuilt after the McCleary ruling, the model is topped up by a capped local enrichment levy and by state Local Effort Assistance for property-poor districts.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Burlington-Edison School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Washington publishes the Washington State Report Card, reporting assessment results, graduation, growth, discipline and per-pupil finances, with schools identified for support through the Washington School Improvement Framework.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Washington does not require accreditation of its public districts; the State Board of Education approves schools against basic-education standards, while accreditation is voluntary through Cognia or an Educational Service District.
