Klawock City School

Summary:

Klawock City School is a small, alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the predominantly Native American community of Klawock, Alaska. With a student population of 124, the school has a high percentage of Native American students (65.32%) and a 100% rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting it serves a community facing significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite spending a relatively high $34,935 per student and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, Klawock City School consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 21.43% in English Language Arts, 22.81% in Mathematics, and 16% in Science, well below the state averages. In comparison, the nearby PACE Correspondence school, which is part of the Craig City School District, outperforms Klawock City School in these areas.

The unique challenges faced by Klawock City School, such as its high percentage of Native American students and low academic performance, highlight the importance of targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the student population. This could involve implementing culturally responsive teaching practices, providing additional academic resources, and addressing any underlying socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, there may be opportunities for the school to collaborate with nearby schools, such as Hollis School in the Southeast Island School District, to share best practices and resources and improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
