Summary

Main Elementary is a public elementary school in Kodiak, Alaska, serving 201 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Kodiak Island Borough School District, which is ranked 13 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Main Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance is generally below the district and state averages. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are often 5-10 percentage points lower than the surrounding schools, such as Peterson Elementary, North Star Elementary, and East Elementary. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and its student subgroups, including female students, male students, and English Language Learners, also perform below the state averages for those subgroups.

One potential factor contributing to Main Elementary's academic challenges is the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.19% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may face additional obstacles in supporting its students. By learning from the practices of its higher-performing neighboring schools and addressing the unique needs of its student population, Main Elementary has the potential to improve academic outcomes for its students.
