Summary

Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Wasilla, Alaska, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 516 students. The school is part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, which is ranked 10th out of 24 districts in Alaska and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively well-ranked district, Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alaska high schools, with a ranking between 39th and 67th out of 61-77 schools over the past several years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates range from 6.49% to 36% compared to the district and state averages of around 40%. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 69.57% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles.

Compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Palmer High School, Colony High School, and Mat-Su Career & Technical Educational High School, Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School consistently underperforms on academic measures. However, the school's performance is better than that of Burchell High School, another nearby school within the district, which has even lower academic achievement. When compared to schools in the neighboring Anchorage School District, such as Eagle River High School and Chugiak High School, Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is significantly lower.
