Summary:
Wrangell Public School District is a small Alaska district in Wrangell serving 264 students in grades PK-12 across just three schools: Evergreen Elementary, Stikine Middle School, and Wrangell High School. The district ranks 5th of 23 Alaska districts with a 4-star rating, yet its individual school results vary sharply.
Evergreen Elementary is the district's standout, ranking 32nd of 166 Alaska elementary schools with 4 stars and showing consistent strength over three years. Its math proficiency of 69.5% is more than double the 32.2% state average, its science proficiency of 60% also tops the 37.8% state average, and its reading proficiency of 44.1% beats the 32.9% state figure. Wrangell High School is the most improved school, climbing from 33rd to 13th among Alaska high schools over three years and earning 4 stars; 9th-grade reading proficiency there is 63.2%, more than double the state's 31.2%, and the graduation rate is 93.7%. Stikine Middle School is the biggest concern: it dropped from a 5-star, top-10 statewide ranking in 2024-25 to a 2-star, below-median rank (61st of 90) this year, with double-digit proficiency drops in math, science, and reading.
The small cohorts—roughly 15-25 students per grade—mean these swings should be read carefully, since just a few students can move rates by many points. Stikine's current weak spot is 8th grade, where reading and math proficiency sit near 20%, while its 7th-grade results top state averages. No free/reduced-price lunch data was reported, so socioeconomic analysis is not possible. Overall, Evergreen drives the district's strong math and science averages, Wrangell High is a bright, rising reading story, and Stikine is the school families will want to watch closely.
