Summary:
The Annette Island School District in Alaska is home to a single elementary school, Richard Johnson Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 148 out of 173 elementary schools in Alaska for the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Richard Johnson Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates of just 22.41% in English Language Arts, 13.56% in Math, and 29.17% in Science, compared to Alaska's averages of 31.5%, 31.11%, and 36.94%, respectively. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 93.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's spending per student is relatively high at $28,715, which is significantly above the state average.
The lack of diversity at Richard Johnson Elementary, with 98.54% of students identifying as Native American, may also be a factor in the school's challenges. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1 suggests that resources are available, but the data indicates a need for more effective allocation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes at this school within the Annette Island School District.
