Summary:
Raven School is an alternative public school located in Fairbanks, Alaska, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 2,771 students. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in science, English Language Arts (ELA), and mathematics proficiency, outperforming the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District and the state of Alaska in these areas.
Raven School's academic strengths are notable, with its 5th and 8th grade science proficiency rates, as well as its ELA proficiency rates for grades 5, 6, and 8, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also demonstrates higher mathematics proficiency rates in grades 3, 5, and 7 compared to the district and state. However, Raven School has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 116.6 to 162.3 over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the typical student-teacher ratio. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at $5,756 in 2018-2019, is lower than the state average, which may be a factor in its academic performance and resource availability.
When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Alternative Learning Systems, Fairbanks B.E.S.T., and Interior Distance Education of Alaska (IDEA), Raven School stands out for its academic strengths, but also faces challenges with its high student-teacher ratio and relatively low spending per student. These factors may be areas of concern for parents considering educational options for their children in the Fairbanks area.
