These schools serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance, with Bayshore Elementary consistently ranking among the top schools in the state.
Bayshore Elementary stands out with its exceptional test scores, significantly outperforming the Anchorage School District and the state of Alaska in all grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Klatt Elementary and Ocean View Elementary have more mixed results, with some grades and subjects performing below the district and state averages. Mears Middle School is notable for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to the district and state.
The data also reveals variations in free/reduced lunch rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios across the schools. While higher spending at Klatt Elementary may be due to the school's higher percentage of students from low-income families, this increased spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Overall, the analysis of this school data set provides valuable insights that could inform educational policies and practices in the Anchorage School District and beyond.
