Summary:

The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District in Alaska serves a diverse range of 42 schools, including 17 elementary, 4 middle, 9 high, and 12 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 12th out of 24 districts in the state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Homer High School is ranked 2nd out of 60 high schools in Alaska and is rated 5 stars, with high proficiency rates in science and English language arts. Aurora Borealis Charter School is ranked 1st out of 175 elementary schools in the state and is also rated 5 stars, with exceptional performance in science and English language arts. Other top-performing schools include West Homer Elementary and McNeil Canyon Elementary.

However, the district also has a mix of lower-performing schools, with district-wide proficiency rates ranging from 37.35% in English language arts to 44% in science. The free and reduced lunch rates vary significantly, from 19.51% at Soldotna Montessori Charter School to 105.88% at Tebughna School, which may contribute to the academic disparities. The district's leadership can learn from the best-performing schools to improve outcomes across the board and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
