High Schools in Valdez City School District

Summary:

The Valdez City School District in Alaska is home to a single high school, Valdez High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite being the only high school in the district, Valdez High School stands out as a top-performing institution, ranking 12th out of 60 high schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Valdez High School outperforms the state average in several key areas, including science proficiency (60.47% vs. 37.87% statewide) and English Language Arts proficiency (45% vs. 32.69% statewide). While its mathematics proficiency (28.21%) is lower than the state average (32.18%), it is still higher than the district average (49.15%). The school's strong academic performance is likely supported by its high per-student spending of $21,909, which is significantly above the national average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 12:1.

Despite its overall excellence, Valdez High School serves a diverse student population, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 31.33%, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage. This suggests that the school may need to allocate additional resources and support to ensure equitable opportunities for all students. Nevertheless, Valdez High School's consistent high performance and well-rounded academic strengths make it a standout institution within the Valdez City School District.
