CRESCENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 313

What CRESCENT SCHOOL DISTRICT 313 does

Crescent School District #313 is a public K-12 school district headquartered in Joyce, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. The district provides kindergarten through 12th grade education to students within a state-defined catchment area, operating with a 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio, 11.6 average students per classroom, and a faculty averaging 11.9 years of teaching experience. Core offerings include comprehensive K-12 instruction, special education for ages 0-21, Running Start college credit, ELL/migrant and homeless education, college and career readiness, athletics with live-streamed home events, social-emotional counseling, a free breakfast program, and a free Extended Day before/after-school program. Ancillary programs include the Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection (home-based education), Crescent Cooperative Preschool, and a Farm to School partnership with WSU Extension.

The district's technology infrastructure is built entirely on third-party SaaS platforms rather than proprietary systems. Operational stack components include Skyward Qmlativ (student records and Family Access portal), ParentSquare (family communication), Red Rover (attendance and contact management), SafeSchools (staff training and anonymous safety reporting), FinalForms (athletic registration), GoFan (event ticketing), DocuSign (electronic signatures), Microsoft 365 (SSO), and YouTube (athletics live streaming). The district maintains compliance with FERPA, HIPAA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and WCAG 2.0-2.1 accessibility standards.

As a Washington State government entity, Crescent is funded exclusively through state education funding formulas, federal grants, and local property tax levies — it generates no commercial revenue and has no equity investors. Governance rests with a five-member elected school board; day-to-day administration is led by a Superintendent reporting to the board. The district markets to enrolled and prospective families via its website, ParentSquare, Facebook (Crescent Loggers page), and traditional broadcast media (KONP 1450 AM radio; KING 5, KIRO 7, KOMO 4 television) used primarily for emergency closures. In January 2026, Superintendent David Bingham announced his retirement effective June 2026 after 41 years with the district, triggering a leadership succession during the implementation window of the Strategic Plan 2025-2030.
