These figures come from our state requirements registry. We hold no statutory citation for Washington yet, and nobody has checked the figures above against a statute text; we would rather say so than invent one. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them. See what we hold for Washington, open it in the checker, or read how we source this.

How Spatrian Helps Washington Families

  • Documents PE even though the state does not mandate it, which is what a transcript and a college application read
  • Issues a transcript with a fingerprint an evaluator can check at spatrian.com/verify without an account
  • Names the documents and deadlines it holds for the state, and says where it holds none
