These test results demonstrate that charter public schools are not only meeting but exceeding expectations, particularly for students who have historically been underserved by the traditional system. Charter schools are playing a vital role in improving educational equity and opportunities in our state."

"While we celebrate successful student outcomes, we recognize there's still much work to be done to ensure every student in our state - including those in charter public schools - has access to a high-quality education. As the main authorizer of charter public schools in Washington, our focus is to continue upholding a multi-layered accountability framework so that charter public schools may continue to expand opportunities and address inequities within our broader public school system."

The report also features insights from school leaders, highlighting the success stories of individual charter schools.
