District-Level NCES Analysis

Quillayute Valley School District operates 6 public schools serving 2,473 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 high, 2 elementary, 1 combined schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Clallam County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $16,351 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 309 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

Insight School of Washington accounts for 75.6% of all Quillayute Valley School District student enrollment

That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Quillayute Valley School District a distant remainder — means Quillayute Valley School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Quillayute Valley School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 56.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015).

Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
