Success in the Face of Under Funding

Year after year, Washington's students continue their high performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Even with under funded schools, our educators’ continued hard work and support of our students is highlighted by the fact that Washington is one of the fastest improving states in the country in reading and math scores.
