WASHINGTON’S REPORT CARD

WASHINGTON'S

REPORT CARD

OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION

What is the Report Card?

Washington's Report Card shows data for the Washington K-12 public education system.

The Report Card provides information on district and school success according to a number of measures, such as student graduation rates and performance on assessments.

It also provides summary demographic information about students, such as race/ ethnicity, and special program participation, such as students with disabilities.

The current Report Card also provides information about the race/ethnicity of teachers and their teaching certification.

How is it changing?

Report cards are one of the most powerful tools for informing decisions ? large and small ? about the direction of the education system.

OSPI is redesigning the Report Card to meet our federal accountability requirements, but also to make it easier to use by parents, educators, policy makers and the public. We are working with our partners, specifically with parents, to create an easierto-understand Report Card that can be used to engage with schools at the local level as well as local and state policy makers.

The redesigned Report Card will include a variety of student, educator, and financial measures that paint a holistic picture of our K-12 system performance.

Additionally, the redesigned Report Card will include the Washington School Improvement Framework (WSIF) and integrate other data displays, such as attendance and discipline, to present information in an integrated and easy to access manner.
