REPORTS
Data Justice
Washington STEM joined with Indigenous education experts from across the state to understand the potential impacts of Maximum Representation, a set of policies and practices to fully represent multiracial/multiethnic students in data sets and solve the interlocking problems of undercounted Native students and underfunded Native education.

HIGH SCHOOL TO POSTSECONDARY
Washington STEM has joined forces with staff, students, and families to help identify barriers and opportunities to college and career readiness supports — like dual credit, financial aid, and more. Read our new High School to Postsecondary report to learn more.
STATE OF THE CHILDREN
Our State of the Children reports series capture regional demographics of children in our state and availability of child care as well as economic impact. Context for the following reports can be found on the Early Learning page. (Updated 2024. For the most current data, visit the Department of Children, Youth, and Families website.)
Early Care and Education
This report series was developed in partnership with Washington Communities for Children. It illuminates disparities in early learning for the families seeking child care as well as the workforce providing that care.
