Eighth Grade · first credit courses, course selection, the moving-up year
Eighth Grade in Washington
Washington public schools are overseen by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. This is the Eighth Grade view of one honest K-12 platform, from the state capital of Olympia to the smallest district in between.

What Eighth Grade looks like here
The top of middle school and the high-school on-ramp; the oldest, most independent secondary-underclass students, with the first high-school-credit courses and a moving-up milestone.
Some eighth-grade courses carry high-school credit; the gradebook-of-record already records them to the standard that a transcript will later read.
From seventh grade's activity-defined year into the top of middle school and course-selection season.
Standards
The academic standards Eighth Grade follows in Washington
Washington adopts its own academic standards; the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction is the authority that sets what a public school teaches. Below are the real, currently listed Washington standards documents for Grades 6-8, by subject, with a link to each one so you can read it at the source. We write our own free Eighth Grade materials to align with them; we are not the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, and we are not endorsed, approved by, or affiliated with it.

Standard codes and text are drawn from the Common Standards Project / Achievement Standards Network (ASN) corpus, republished by D2L Corporation (CC BY (per-document; see each cell.document.license)). 3rd-party aggregator copy, NOT an authoritative state publication. Verify against each document's own source before treating as authoritative. We do not present this as an authoritative crosswalk; each state agency’s own publication, linked above, is the authority.
Honest by default
The school stays the FERPA custodian of student records; a rep-scoped view reads zero grade rows at the database engine. Money, pricing, and checkout are honest-off on this page, and any school count above is an NCES Common Core of Data reference figure, never a claim of adoption in Washington.
Where these numbers come from
Data from the NCES Common Core of Data, 2023-2024. Schools may have opened or closed since publication.
