Summit Valley School District funding
In 2024-25, Summit Valley School District reported $1,880,722 in general-fund revenue for 96 funded students (108 enrolled in the October headcount), or $19,652 per student. The statewide median is $20,083.
Where the money comes from
Washington districts run on three main streams. The state formula pays for basic education; local levies fund enrichment on top of it; federal money is mostly targeted at specific student groups.
| Source | Amount | Share | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| State | $1,507,806 | 80% | The prototypical-school formula allocation, plus other state programs. |
| Local | $148,534 | 8% | Voter-approved enrichment levies and other local revenue. |
| Federal | $224,082 | 12% | Title I, IDEA, child nutrition and other federal programs. |
| Other | $300 | 0% | Grants, fees and revenue from other districts and agencies. |
| Total | $1,880,722 | 100% |

What the formula pays vs. what these programs cost
For three programs the state publishes both an allocation and what districts actually spent. Where spending runs above the allocation, the difference comes out of local levy, federal or other money.
| Program | State allocation | Actually spent | Difference | Per student |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Special education | $195,809 | $160,808 | −$35K | −$366 |
| Materials, supplies & operating costs (MSOC) | $155,456 | $265,667 | +$110K | +$1,152 |
| Student transportation | $0 | $0 | no change | no change |
Across these three programs, Summit Valley School District covered about $110K beyond what the state formula allocated in 2024-25.
Special education here is state programs 21, 22 and 26 - federally funded IDEA (program 24) is excluded from both sides, so the two columns describe the same thing. Read more on special education funding, MSOC and student transportation.

Students this district serves
Several state programs are funded on these counts, so a district's mix of students shapes its allocation as much as its total enrollment does. Shares are of the October headcount.

| English learners | 0 | 0.0% | 15.0% |
| Students with disabilities | 20 | 18.5% | 16.3% |
| Highly capable | 1 | 0.9% | 8.0% |
| Experiencing homelessness | 0 | 0.0% | 3.8% |
| Migrant | 0 | 0.0% | 2.0% |
Local levy and Local Effort Assistance
Enrichment levies are capped per student by state law, and property-poor districts receive Local Effort Assistance to close part of the gap between what their property base raises and the statewide goal.
- Voter-approved levy
- $129,000
- Levy rate
- $1.43 per $1,000 of value
- Local Effort Assistance received
- $80,484
