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 $18,540 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 311 Washington districts by per-pupil spending. See how Washington compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 4.6% local, 88.6% state, and 6.7% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 62/100, ranked #67 of 239 in Washington against a state average of 50, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

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 largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

Quillayute Valley School District reports 56.1% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
