Ayaprun Elitnaurvik

Summary:

Ayaprun Elitnaurvik is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Bethel, Alaska, part of the Lower Kuskokwim School District. With a student population of 167, the school has a predominantly Native American student body (95.81% in 2022-2023).

Despite its high percentage of Native American students, Ayaprun Elitnaurvik consistently underperforms the state and district averages in academic assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.7% of students were proficient or better in STAR/English Language Arts and STAR/Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 31.5% and 31.11%, respectively. The school's performance in ASA/Science is also low, with only 20% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 36.94%. Ayaprun Elitnaurvik has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15 to 20.8 students per teacher over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby Gladys Jung Elementary (14.8 students per teacher) and Mikelnguut Elitnaurviat (14.2 students per teacher).

Ayaprun Elitnaurvik's struggles are further highlighted by the comparatively better performance of the nearby Gladys Jung Elementary and Mikelnguut Elitnaurviat, which have similar student demographics but better academic outcomes. Despite its high percentage of Native American students and relatively high per-student spending ($17,487), Ayaprun Elitnaurvik has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Alaska elementary schools, with a ranking of 168 out of 173 in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
