This School Report Card presents information about the school’s performance for the 2016-2017 school year. The Performance Evaluation for Alaska’s Schools (PEAKS) assessment in English Language Arts and Mathematics were given for the first time in spring 2017 to students in grades 3-10. These two new assessments replaced the former Alaska Measures of Progress (AMP) assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Students in grades 4, 8, and 10 also took the Alaska Science Assessment. For 2016-2017, there are no Alaska School Performance Index (ASPI) star ratings and Annual Measurable Objective (AMOs) Progress reports. Due to the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaced the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, the accountability system remains paused until the state implements a new accountability system. The ASPI score and star rating reported above are the same as those from the 2013-2014 school year. Under ASPI, each school received a score on a 100-point scale and a star rating from 5-stars (highest) to 1-star. The ASPI score and star rating gave an overall picture of how well the school did to prepare students to be college-, career- and culturally ready graduates. For 2016-2017, schools received an Accountability Indicators Report that reports the percentage of full- academic year students in the school, district, and state who were proficient in English language arts and mathematics, along with the participation rates, attendance rates, and graduation rates for all students and subgroups. A copy of that report is found at the end of this School Report Card.
