Spring assessment data for Washington State public schools from the 2014-15 through 2021-22 school years. The dataset is disaggregated by school, district, and state levels, with student counts by grade, gender, race/ethnicity, and program characteristics. It is hosted on the data.wa.gov platform and was last updated in May 2025.

Use Cases

• Model the relationship between demographic factors (StudentGroupType, GradeLevel) and assessment outcomes (CountMetStandard) using the disaggregated counts.
• Calculate school-level proficiency rates using Count of Students Expected to Test and CountMetStandard for accountability reporting.

Strengths

• Data spans eight consecutive school years from 2014-15 to 2021-22, enabling longitudinal analysis.

• Provides multiple calculated performance metrics including PercentMetStandard and percentile breakdowns (PercentLevel1-PercentLevel4).

Limitations

• Row count and total data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
