Best High Schools in Ketchikan, AK

Summary:

The city of Ketchikan, Alaska is home to two high schools: Ketchikan High School and Revilla Junior/Senior High School. Based on the available data, Revilla Junior/Senior High School appears to be the standout performer in the Ketchikan area, consistently outranking Ketchikan High School on several key metrics.

Revilla Junior/Senior High School has a higher statewide ranking, placing 33rd out of 60 Alaska high schools in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Ketchikan High School's ranking of 46th. Additionally, Revilla Junior/Senior High School has higher proficiency rates in ASA/Science, STAR/English Language Arts, and STAR/Mathematics across various grade levels. Despite serving a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, Revilla Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is notably stronger than that of Ketchikan High School.

In contrast, Ketchikan High School's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 40th out of 62 schools in 2022-2023 to 46th out of 60 schools in 2024-2025. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance. Additionally, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools suggests potential equity concerns within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District, which may require targeted interventions to ensure all students have access to quality education.
