Statewide Indicators of Education System Health and Conditions for Learning. 2024 Report and Recommendations
Washington State Board of Education
The Indicators of Educational System Health, established in 2013 by the Washington State Legislature, create a common framework upon which to evaluate the overall health of the educational system and for state agencies to align with in strategic planning. The Washington State Board of Education (SBE) reports on the health of Washington's educational system every two years. The six indicators specified in statute are intended to provide a high-level snapshot of the condition of our education system, but do not provide a complete picture of the health of Washington's educational system. In addition to setting performance targets and endpoint goals, the Board has two other important responsibilities in completing this report. First, to report on the state's progress in meeting the goals established for each indicator. Second, to recommend appropriate reforms to bolster the outcomes of the indicators where the state is not on track to achieving the goals. In each case, the Board engages in this work collaboratively with partner agencies, which helps ensure that all partners in the educational governance landscape are sharing common strategies and working toward common goals. This is the seventh report on the Indicators of Educational System Health. As one reads this report, be mindful that this process is not merely to report on the results of each indicator, but to make recommendations about appropriate reforms in the system. This summary report assumes some prior knowledge of the previous educational system health reports to the legislature, the Washington educational system, and educational systems in general. Previous reports and other important information about the educational system health can be found on the SBE website.
