Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Wasilla, Alaska, serving 556 students in grades 6-12. The school is part of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, which is ranked 8th out of 24 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alaska high schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing well above average, while White and male students, as well as those from low-income families, struggle academically.

Compared to nearby schools like Wasilla High School and Eagle River High School, Joe Redington Senior Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is significantly lower. The school's high percentage of low-income students and relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its challenges, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its diverse student population and improve overall academic outcomes.

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.
