Summary:
The Kodiak, Alaska area is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Kodiak Island Borough School District. While the district is ranked 13th out of 24 in Alaska and has a 3-star rating, there are notable differences in performance among the schools.
Peterson Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 33 elementary schools in Alaska and earning a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Kodiak High School and Kodiak Middle School perform below the state average, with proficiency rates in the 30-40% range for English language arts and mathematics. The elementary schools show more variation, with Main Elementary struggling, particularly in mathematics.
The schools also differ in their student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.9 at East Elementary to 17 at Kodiak Middle School, and in their free/reduced lunch rates, from 26.9% at Peterson Elementary to 63.87% at Kodiak High School. These disparities suggest that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the differences in academic performance across the district.
