Craig High School

Summary:

Craig High School is a small public high school in Craig, Alaska, serving 80 students in grades 9-12. The school's diverse student population is 45% White, 20% Native American, and 33.75% two or more races.

Craig High School has shown fluctuating academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 15.79% to 66.67% in mathematics and 31.58% to 44.44% in English Language Arts. However, the school outperformed the state and district averages in mathematics proficiency for all grades and 9th grade in the 2023-2024 school year. Notably, the school ranked 1st out of 16 Alaska high schools for Native American students and 15th out of 54 for female students in recent years, indicating exceptional performance for these student subgroups. Despite a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school has also performed well for this population, ranking 10th out of 34 Alaska high schools in 2021-2022 and 8th out of 37 in 2020-2021.

With a relatively high spending per student of $28,619 in the 2018-2019 school year, Craig City School District appears to be investing significant resources into the education of its students. However, the school's inconsistent performance across different subjects and grade levels suggests the need for a closer examination of its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and improved student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
