Summary:
The Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District in Alaska is home to two high schools: Ketchikan High School and Revilla Junior/Senior High School. While both schools serve students in the region, the data analysis reveals notable differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.
Revilla Junior/Senior High School emerges as the standout school in the district, consistently outperforming both Ketchikan High School and the district/state averages in science and English language arts proficiency. In contrast, Ketchikan High School lags behind in most test score metrics, particularly in math, where only 17.21% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to 31.31% for the district and 32.18% for the state.
Despite serving a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (58.88%) compared to Ketchikan High School (31.4%), Revilla Junior/Senior High School spends more per student ($22,466) and has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio (15.2) than Ketchikan High School ($19,935 per student and 14.3 student-teacher ratio). These factors, along with the school's strong academic performance, suggest that Revilla Junior/Senior High School may be a more effective institution in supporting student learning and achievement within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough School District.
