Summary

Hutchison High School is a public high school in Fairbanks, Alaska, serving 376 students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but lower proficiency in Mathematics compared to district and state averages. Hutchison High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 8th out of 139 schools in 2013-2014 to 45th out of 62 schools in 2021-2022.

Hutchison High School's performance is generally better than that of North Pole High School, the closest neighboring high school within the same Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. However, the school lags behind West Valley High School, which is located just 0.3 miles away and has consistently higher academic proficiency rates and a higher statewide ranking. Hutchison High School's relatively lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to some nearby schools suggests a more diverse socioeconomic population, which may contribute to its mixed academic performance.

Despite having higher per-student spending than nearby schools, Hutchison High School's student-teacher ratio is higher, indicating fewer resources per student compared to some of its counterparts. Continued efforts to address the specific needs of underperforming student groups and improve overall academic outcomes could help Hutchison High School achieve more consistent and stronger performance.
