Alaska’s Public Schools:
A Report Card to the Public: 2017-2018

A Message From the Commissioner

Report cards tell us something about a child’s learning.

This Report Card to the Public tells us something about Alaska’s system of public education. It is a useful, yet limited, resource for families, communities, and policy makers to determine if Alaska’s schools are working as well as they should for ALL students. The Report Card does not make a school or our system of public education effective or ineffective; it provides information about the system and leaves the responsibilities with you, Alaska’s families, to decide if it describes the system you wish to have.

This is not unlike individual student report cards. Those documents provide a limited description of how well a student is doing in school. In one sense, it is a call to action for the student, parents, and educators. A report card identifies learning that needs continued support, and learning that needs to be increased. A report card cannot improve a student’s learning on its own; it can only provide helpful information for those responsible for shepherding educational opportunities, including the student.

In the coming months, the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development will be working on a new, updated website. It will be developed to provide Alaskans with more information about our public education system, and will grow into a linkable source of data for individual districts and schools so that Alaskans can support effective learning opportunities. The new website format will be designed as a call to action to inspire Alaskans to share a vision for an excellent education for every student.

As you review this year’s Report Card, please take a moment to submit your “wish list” for future report cards. What information would be most helpful as you work with your local educators and others across Alaska to support effective schools? How can the Report Card best reflect the many innovative and successful education opportunities in our state, while also providing information to compare schools with other successful learning options? Your suggestions will be valuable as the work on a new, revised Report Card progresses. Suggestions can be emailed to deed.commissioner@alaska.gov.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Johnson, Commissioner
Alaska Department of Education & Early Development

Notes

New for 2017-2018: This State Report Card presents information about statewide 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.

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.

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.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP): The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only national test of what students know and can do. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mandated state participation in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments in grades 4 and 8 every other year so that NAEP could serve as the common measure of student achievement.

NAEP does not test each fourth or eighth grader in the state. A representative sample of schools is chosen to participate in the NAEP. No NAEP individual results are given for students or schools; only statewide results are reported. NAEP scores can be used to compare Alaska to the nation and to other states.

NAEP assessments are designed to assess NAEP standards, also known as NAEP frameworks. NAEP does not assess students on the Alaska standards (grade level expectations). More information about the NAEP in Alaska

There are three achievement levels for each grade assessed by NAEP: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. A fourth level, Below Basic, has no federal policy definition but is indicative of a lack of mastery. Proficient on the NAEP indicates students "have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter." The following definitions apply to all subjects and all grades assessed by NAEP:

Achievement-Level Policy Definitions

Basic
Partial Mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at each grade.
Proficient
Solid academic performance for each grade assessed. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter, including subject-matter knowledge, application of such knowledge to real-world situations, and analytical skills appropriate to the subject matter.
Advanced
Superior performance.

The most recent NAEP results available are from the 2017 administration. The tables located below show the performance of Alaska students on NAEP in 2017 compared to the performance of public school students nationwide. NAEP will be administered again in early 2019.
