Summary

Dillingham Middle/High School is a public school located in Dillingham, Alaska, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school is part of the Dillingham City School District, which is ranked 21 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, Dillingham Middle/High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alaska high schools, typically between 50-55 out of 60-63 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 10.57% of students proficient or better in STAR/English Language Arts and 10.66% in STAR/Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 32.69% and 32.18%, respectively. The school's performance on the Alaska Science Assessment is also below the state average, with only 30.65% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.87%.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as multi-racial students, performing much better than others, like Native American and low socioeconomic status students. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of underperforming subgroups. Additionally, the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Dillingham Middle/High School indicates that the school serves a community with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles and underscores the need for comprehensive support and resources to address the broader social and economic factors impacting student learning.
