New for 2018-2019: This School Report Card presents information about the school’s performance for the 2018-2019 school year. During the third administration of The Performance Evaluation for Alaska’s Schools (PEAKS) assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics students in grades 3-9 were assessed. 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. For the second year, utilizing Alaska’s plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) as a strategy for closing our achievement gaps, the new accountability system was 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. Please see the Guide to the System for School Success for a more complete description.

For 2018-2019, 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.

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.

The tables below describe the number of students who participated in the Alternate Assessment, the number of students who participated in the Alaska Science 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.

Due to the small number of students taking the Alternate Assessment and the necessity to protect student privacy, we are unable to report any data at the school level related to the extent of use of the alternate assessment.

Feedback

Recently the Alaska Department of Education & Early Development (DEED) released the 2021-2022 Report Cards to the Public for each school district and school in Alaska. This new user-friendly website aims to provide clear, common information about all public schools and districts in our State. These report cards to the public contain data and information about academics, school environment, teacher quality, and more. We value your feedback as we strive to make Alaska’s District and School Report Cards a user-friendly resource to help inform parents and other stakeholders about how districts and schools are doing. Thank you for your participation in this survey and sharing your thoughts and experience with us.
