The Compass

*If the value is less than or equal to 20, the reported value for the indicator will be 0.If the value is greater than 80, the reported value for the indicator will be 100.The 80 / 20 rule has been established to protect student privacy in Alaska’s smaller schools.However, for the system to be fair to all schools, this suppression rule must be applied consistently to every school.
How is my school designated for support?
Each year an overall school index value is calculated for each school and a school designation is assigned. There are three school destinations for Alaska’s schools:
-
Comprehensive Support
- Lowest 5% - If the overall school index value of a school falls in the lowest 5% of Title I schools, that school receives a designation of Comprehensive Support (Lowest 5%).
- Graduation Rate - If a secondary school has a graduation rate of less than 66.66%, that school receives a designation of Comprehensive Support (Graduation Rate).
- Targeted Support - If a school has any student groups with index values under the Comprehensive Support (lowest 5%) threshold, that school receives a designation of Targeted Support.
- Universal Support - All other schools are considered Universal Support schools.
