Must a visiting student pay tuition to attend school in Washington State?
As with enrollment decisions, it is a local control decision for school districts to charge tuition. However, if an exchange student wishes to attend public high school (grades 9-12) in the United States in student (F-1) status, he/she must submit evidence, to the U.S. Department of State, that the local school district has been reimbursed in advance for the unsubsidized per capita cost of the education.
