The short answer

Record last released by NCES on Jul 1, 2026.

Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.

How do students fare?

  • ED has no 2022-23 chronic absence count for this school.
  • ED’s own figures for 2022-23: 42.7% for its district and 34.7% for Washington.
  • In 2022-23, 50% or more of the 14 students in its four-year cohort graduated with a regular diploma within four years: ED publishes a range, not a figure, to protect students’ privacy.

What kind of school is it, and who does it serve?

  • A public alternative school for grades 6 to 12.
  • Open in NCES’s 2025-26 directory, which is still preliminary.
  • NCES lists it as exclusively virtual: its students learn online.
  • In 2024-25, 55% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, 71 of the 130 enrolled on October 1: 58 for free lunch and 13 for reduced-price.
  • NCES counts 54 students directly certified for free meals in 2024-25, without an application, through their families’ part in programs such as SNAP.
  • NCES’s estimate of poverty around its address isn’t shown: as a virtual school, its students don’t learn there.

What did the school report?

What the school reported to the Office for Civil Rights for 2023-24. These are the school’s own counts, not findings.

  • The 2023-24 Civil Rights Data Collection has no record for this school.

Who runs it?

  • Run by Kent School District, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
  • District spending, fiscal year 2024: Kent School District spent $20,051 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 25,700 students, of which $11,642 went on instruction and $7,866 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
  • That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

Has anything been proven against it?

  • Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
  • To protect students’ privacy, ED adds or takes away one at random from chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
  • ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
  • ED publishes most schools’ results as ranges, wider for smaller schools, to protect students’ privacy: each is shown as ED publishes it, never as a single figure.
  • As a virtual school, it isn’t compared with schools nearby.
