Summary:
Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District in Alaska has only one middle school, Schoenbar Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 60th and 71st out of middle schools statewide. While the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming district and state averages in science and math assessments, it has struggled in English language arts compared to its peers.
Schoenbar Middle School has 267 students, with 36.33% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with greater socioeconomic challenges. The school's per-student spending of $21,673 is significantly higher than the state average, suggesting a focus on providing resources and support to students. However, it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into improved academic outcomes across all subject areas.
Overall, Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District has one middle school that has shown mixed performance, with strengths in some areas and weaknesses in others. The district may need to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's academic results and explore ways to improve student outcomes, particularly in English language arts, to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
