System for School Success (2024-2025)
As part of the ongoing implementation of Alaska’s Education Challenge, 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, as it provides information about how each school is supporting its students.
