Higher education can help improve Washington residents' outcomes so they will have the opportunity to lead productive and financially rewarding lives and contribute to the economic success and social wellbeing of the state. But the COVID-19 crisis is having a major impact on higher education, and postsecondary enrollment in Washington was down 13 percent in the fall of 2020 compared to the prior year. School closures and remote learning during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis have also profoundly impacted K-12 students' routines and may have an impact on their transitions to postsecondary programs. Understanding the impact on learning for K-12 students can help prepare educators and policymakers to address the potential effects on future high school graduation rates and transitions to postsecondary education that are critical for the state's economic and social wellbeing. Addressing learning disruption is critical to ensuring that K-12 students can get back on track, make sufficient progress to reach high school graduation, and be prepared with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue postsecondary opportunities. This report presents insights about the impact on learning. Addressing learning disruption is critical to ensuring that K-12 students can get back on track, make sufficient progress to reach high school graduation, and be prepared with the skills and knowledge they need to pursue postsecondary opportunities.
