Washington School Map For professionals Open the map
Sponsored placements · Clearly labeled · Never in school results

Reach Washington families while they choose schools

Tutoring, child care, after-school, enrichment, test prep and moving services can appear next to the schools and neighborhoods families are looking at. Every placement is labeled, families can hide them, and money never changes school data or order.

Where placements appear

Each preview below is drawn by the same code the map uses. At most two placements show in a slot, and eligible sponsors take turns fairly.

Targeting options

Placements are shown by place, never by who the visitor is. We don't use cookies, profiles or personal data.

  • Counties — one or more of Washington's 39 counties, or statewide.
  • School districts — any of the 295 districts.
  • Educational Service Districts (ESDs) — the 9 regional ESDs.
  • School levels — preschool, elementary, middle or high school.
  • Distance — a point and a radius in miles around your location.
  • Dates — every placement has a start and end date and stops automatically.

Editorial policy

  • Sponsors never affect the data. School information, school order, filters, rankings, reports and maps are the same with or without advertising.
  • Never mixed into results. Placements sit in their own labeled box, after the school results.
  • No targeting by protected class. We don't accept ads that target, or exclude, people by race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, familial status, age or any other protected class, and we don't let ads target places by school demographics. Real estate and housing ads must follow fair housing law.
  • Services for families only. Tutoring, child care, after-school, enrichment, test prep, and moving or relocation help. No schools ranking themselves, no political ads, no payday loans, no alcohol, tobacco, cannabis or gambling.
  • We may decline or remove any placement, and we check every link before it goes live.

Advertising & affiliate disclosure

The Washington School Map is free for families. To pay for hosting and the monthly data refresh, it shows a small number of paid placements:

  • “Sponsored” means a business paid to show its card in that spot.
  • “Featured” means a licensed child care program paid to highlight its card in its existing place in an official list.
  • “Affiliate link” means we may earn a commission if you buy through the link, at no extra cost to you.

Neither changes which schools you see, their order or their data. Links open the business's own website in a new tab and are marked rel="sponsored". Showing a card makes no request to the advertiser: nothing about you is shared with them unless you click. If the site owner has turned on GoatCounter (anonymous, cookie-free page counts), a click is counted as an anonymous total.

What we count for advertisers

If the site owner has turned on GoatCounter, featured listings and sponsored cards and pins are counted as anonymous totals: a view when at least half of the card is on screen for one second (once per page view), and a click when someone opens the link. Each count says only which listing, which spot on the site and which school it was shown with. We never send your address, your location, what you searched for or anything that identifies you, and we set no cookies. Advertisers get monthly totals only.
