High Schools in Haines Borough School District

The Haines Borough School District in Alaska is home to a single high school, Haines High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 21 high schools in the state over the past three school years. This small school of just 83 students boasts a diverse student body, with 18.07% of its population identifying as Native American, higher than the state average.

Haines High School's academic performance is a standout, with proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics exceeding the district and state averages. The school's 10th-grade science proficiency rate was 43.75% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 41.18% and the state's 29.65%. In ELA, the school's proficiency rate for all grades was 53.33% in 2023-2024, higher than the district's 37.69% and the state's 31.5%. However, the school's math proficiency rate of 20% for all grades in 2023-2024 was lower than the district's 34.62% and the state's 31.11%.

The high school's success is likely attributed to the significant financial investment in its students, with the school spending $23,605 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. This, coupled with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 in 2022-2023, suggests that the district is dedicated to providing a quality education for its students. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 74.7% in 2022-2023 indicates that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and support needs.
