Washington School Performance Metrics and Accountability Ratings

2025 annual calculations for federal school accountability under the Every Student Succeeds Act. The framework includes metrics like Growth_ELA_Decile, Proficiency_Math_Rate, and NinthGradeOnTrack_Rate for schools across Washington state. Data was published by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between RegularAttendance_Rate and Proficiency_Combined_Decile to assess attendance's impact on academic proficiency.
• Cluster schools using School_Type, Growth_Math_Median_SGP, and Grad_FourYear_Decile to identify performance patterns across different educational models.
• Predict the 2025_Annual_Identification status using features like Proficiency_Math_Rate, Growth_ELA_Decile, and NinthGradeOnTrack_Rate.
• Compare district-level performance by aggregating School_Code-level data on Proficiency_ELA_Rate and DualCredit_Denominator using District_Code.

Strengths

• Includes over 30 specific metrics for school performance assessment, such as growth deciles and proficiency rates.
• Provides structured identifiers like School_Organization_Id and District_Organization_Id for reliable data linkage.

Limitations

• Sample size and row count are unknown, limiting statistical power assessments.
• Data is a single annual snapshot (2025), preventing longitudinal trend analysis.
• Geographic coverage is limited to Washington state, reducing national applicability.
