Source: Individual school districts provided test score and credit data, which might vary in the way they were collected. The number of students needing to meet the WASL requirements includes students who havent yet taken the test, and transfer students whose scores arent yet available. These numbers likely underestimate the number of students who have met requirements because not all results of the WASL or state-approved alternatives are available.
N/A stands for not available.
1) Nearly all of Bethels Class of 08 students who did not pass the math WASL are taking math classes to fulfill the new state graduation requirement; the district estimates 25 percent of the Class of 08 is behind in credits to graduate.
2) Eatonville and Orting figures do not include August WASL retake results.
3) Fife figures do not include August WASL retake results or the 58 students in the Class of 2008 at the alternative Fife Learning Opportunity Center.
4) North Thurston, Puyallup and Tacoma estimate nearly all Class of 08 students who did not pass the math WASL are taking math classes.
5) Peninsula figures do not include 11 Henderson Bay Alternative students who dont have enough credits to be seniors.
