Craig Middle School

Craig Middle School is a public middle school located in Craig, Alaska, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 58 students. The school is part of the Craig City School District, which is ranked 8th out of 24 districts in Alaska and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Craig Middle School has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 26th to 77th out of Alaska middle schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 47th out of 94 Alaska middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school has generally performed better in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency compared to the district and state, its performance in Mathematics and Science has been lower than the averages. The school has a diverse student population and has performed particularly well in certain subgroups, such as male students and low socioeconomic status students, but its performance in other subgroups has been more variable.

Despite the school's fluctuating academic performance, it has maintained a relatively high per-student spending of $22,167 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school has also maintained a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.6 to 11.6 students per teacher over the past few years, suggesting a focus on small class sizes and personalized attention. However, the effectiveness of these investments and their impact on student outcomes remain unclear, and the school may need to focus on developing a more consistent and equitable approach to education to better support the academic and personal growth of all its students.
