Every year OSPI (Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction) publishes a Computer Science Education Data Summary Report per HB 1577 (2019). The current version for 2024-25 released in June 2026 covers school years 2020-21 through 2024-25.

While this report contains a wealth of data, there is only one chart showing the percentage of schools in Washington with at least one student enrolled in a computer science courses. There is no analysis of the data providing key takeaways, and the series of data grids is difficult for ESDs, school districts, and individual schools to make use of.

The blog posts linked to this one aim to

  • Enable readers to visualize the wealth of data in the Computer Science Education Data Summary Report
  • Make it easier for ESDs, school districts, and individual schools and teachers to utilize this data to improve computer science education in organizations
  • Offer some simple analysis and key takeaways from the data

In addition, the blog posts linked to this one also provide similar capability on CTE (Career and Technical Education) in Washington as a substantial majority of CS courses in Washington are taught as CTE

While the linked blog posts, Tableau visualizations, and PDF reports are feature- and data-complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge, they should be considered beta versions as of 9/1/2025. CSTA Washington wants your feedback on how these can be improved for the final 2028 version and for future year versions. CSTA Washington is also hoping to find sponsors who would be willing to help fund the development of the final 2026 versions and those of future years. If you would like to provide feedback on these demo versions or would like to sponsor (or donate to) the development of future versions, please contact washington@csteachers.org.
