New for 2017-2018: This School Report Card presents information about the school’s performance for the 2017-2018 school year. During the second administration of The Performance Evaluation for Alaska’s Schools (PEAKS) assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics students in grades 3-9 were assessed. This is a change from the 2016-2017 administration which assessed students in grades 3-10. Students in grades 4, 8, and 10 took the Alaska Science Assessment.

Accountability: As part of the ongoing implementation of Alaska’s Education Challenge, the Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) is working with school districts to support success in every school. Utilizing Alaska’s plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) as a strategy for closing our achievement gaps, a new accountability system is being implemented to help celebrate success and identify areas where additional support is needed, with the goal of increasing achievement for all students. The Overall School Index Value is an important piece of this new System for School Success, which provides information about how each school is supporting its students.

For 2017-2018, schools received a System for School Success Report. The one-page System for School Success Report contains general information and school demographics; grade K‐6 Full Academic Year (FAY) participation rate, indicators, and the K-6 index value; grade 7‐12 FAY participation rate, indicators, and the 7-12 index value; the overall school index value; the school’s designation for level of support; and the school index values for the nine different student groups, also known as subgroups.

The following information is not yet available for the 2017-2018 Report Cards:

• Per-pupil expenditures
  • DEED held a webinar on 6/26/2018 with school districts regarding the steps to collect school level expenditures. In order to provide accurate and reliable data on school spending, this plan will go into effect with the 2018-2019 Report Cards.
• Postsecondary enrollment rates for each high school

2015-2016 Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC)

The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is a survey of all public schools and school districts in the United States. This is completed and managed by the United States Department of Education. This data is collected pursuant to section 203(c)(1) of the Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3413(c)(1)). The CRDC is a biennial (i.e., every other school year) survey required by the Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

The data in this report is from the 2015-2016 Civil Rights Data Collection, the most current data. This data can also be accessed on the CRDC Homepage.

Please note: This data was derived from publicly-available data files in which statistical disclosure limitation methods have been applied to reduce the risk of disclosure of individual student information.

The CRDC data is collected by the Federal Government based on a particular methodology and purpose that may not be clearly aligned with the school’s or district’s disciplinary procedures.

Extent of Use of Alternate Assessment

Alaska’s students participate in statewide summative assessments that are aligned to state adopted English language arts, mathematics, and science standards. Students take the Performance Evaluation for Alaska Schools (PEAKS) and the Alaska Science Assessment or the Dynamic Learning Maps® (DLM®) Alternate Assessment for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities . The Alternate Assessment is an instructionally relevant system that supports student learning and measures what students with significant cognitive disabilities know and can do. All students are assessed in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-9 and in Science for grades 4, 8, and 10. The department’s Participation Guidelines for Inclusion of Alaska Students in State Assessments (Dec 2017) outlines the eligibility criteria to determine which students will be administered the Alternate Assessment in all the content areas: English language arts, mathematics, and science.

The tables below describe the number of students who participated in the Alternate Assessment, the number of students who participated in the PEAKS assessment, the total number of students assessed, and the percentage of the total count who participated in the Alternate Assessment, by content area and grade.
