Summary:
The city of Nikiski, Alaska is home to a single standout school, Nikiski Middle/Senior High School, which serves grades 6-12 and has a total enrollment of 326 students. This school has consistently ranked in the top half of Alaska high schools over the past 3 years, with a current ranking of 20 out of 63 schools, and has seen its SchoolDigger rating improve from 2 to 4 stars out of 5.
Nikiski Middle/Senior High School excels in science proficiency, outperforming both the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and the state of Alaska across all grade levels. However, the school's performance in English language arts and mathematics is more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state, and others below. The school's diverse student population, with 71.47% White and 14.72% two or more races, contributes to a rich learning environment, though the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50%) indicates a sizable economically disadvantaged population that may require additional resources and support.
Overall, Nikiski Middle/Senior High School appears to be a strong performer, particularly in science, and is making positive strides in its academic standing and school rating. While there are opportunities for improvement in English language arts and mathematics, the school's consistent ranking in the top half of Alaska high schools and its improving SchoolDigger rating suggest that it is a desirable option for families in the Nikiski area.
