Dzantik'i Heeni Middle School

Public Grades

Summary

Dzantik'i Heeni Middle School is a public middle school in Juneau, Alaska, serving 454 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Juneau Borough School District, which is ranked 16th out of 24 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dzantik'i Heeni Middle School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is more balanced than the nearby Floyd Dryden Middle School. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in STAR/English Language Arts and STAR/Mathematics higher than the district and state averages, but lower in ASA/Science. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students performing relatively well, while female, male, Native American, White, and low socioeconomic status students struggle.

Despite having higher per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio than Floyd Dryden Middle School, Dzantik'i Heeni Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 24th out of 136 Alaska middle schools in 2012-2013 to 61st out of 91 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's academic performance has not kept pace with other middle schools in the state, and that the school may need to re-evaluate its practices, interventions, and resource allocation to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
