Stikine Middle School

Summary:

Stikine Middle School is a public middle school located in Wrangell, Alaska, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 63 students. The school is part of the Wrangell Public School District, which is ranked 9 out of 24 districts in Alaska and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stikine Middle School has consistently strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in STAR/English Language Arts (40.3%) and STAR/Mathematics (37.31%) higher than the state averages. However, the school's proficiency rate in ASA/Science (19.05%) is significantly lower than the state average. The school has also performed well on the PEAKS assessments, with 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and 46.81% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39.5% and 32.38%, respectively. Notably, the school has consistently ranked among the top 2-3 schools in Alaska for Native American student performance, with a 5-star rating in 2022-2023, and has also performed well for low-income students, ranking among the top 11 schools in the state.

While the school's overall performance is strong, there are some areas that warrant further attention. The school has seen a decline in the percentage of White students, from 48% in 2020-2021 to 36.51% in 2022-2023, which may indicate demographic shifts in the local community. Additionally, the school's performance for male students has been more inconsistent, ranking 26th out of 72 schools in 2022-2023 but dropping to 37th out of 68 schools in 2021-2022, suggesting a potential need for targeted interventions to address this gap.

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.
