STEM by the numbers dashboards track key indicators for P-12 education and beyond.

The dashboards in Kindergarten Math Readiness and Postsecondary Progress provide statewide and regional data to let us know if Washington’s education systems are supporting more students — especially students of color, rural students, girls and young women, and students experiencing poverty — to be on track to attain the postsecondary credentials that lead to high-demand careers paying a family-sustaining wage.

These dashboards are meant to be viewed on a laptop or desktop. To download these graphs, click the download icon at right.

Postsecondary Progress

The Postsecondary Progress dashboard includes five sub-sections that track key indicators in postsecondary education for the 2021 five-year cohort of Washington-originating high school graduates.

  • Credential Attainment: Credential Attainment projects what increase in credential attainment will be needed to ensure that students in the region are equitably prepared to acquire high-demand jobs that pay household-sustaining wages.
  • Enrollment Representation rates: Top graph provides snapshots of regional teacher diversity compared to student demographics; bottom graph displays demographics and equity of representation of the students enrolled in postsecondary programs.
  • Enrollment and Completion rates: Two pie charts show enrollment and projected completion rates, at the regional and state levels. A second graphic illustrates the data that shows how members of the 2021 cohort detour off the path of postsecondary credentials.
  • Enrollment Demographics: This chart breaks down postsecondary enrollment within one year of graduation by gender, ethnicity and income level.
  • Enrollment Tables: This table provides enrollment details for graduates, by high school in each region.
