BeatsExpectations

Not computed for this school
BeatsExpectations is not computed for specialized-population schools (schools for the deaf or blind, therapeutic and behavioral-health placements, juvenile-justice and alternative-education settings, and similar). State ELA/Math proficiency rates are not a comparable metric for these populations, so a demographically-adjusted residual against general-enrollment peers would be misleading.

How to read these scores

What is AK STAR + Alaska Science?
AK STAR + Alaska Science is the statewide standardized test administered by Alaska public schools.
What does "% Advanced + Proficient" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 13.6% mean for English Language Arts at Alternative Learning Systems?
It means about 13.6 percent of students tested at Alternative Learning Systems performed at grade level or above on the AK STAR + Alaska Science English Language Arts test in 2023-24. The statewide average for Alaska that year was 35.2%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Alaska, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Alaska Department of Education and Early Development, AK STAR (ELA + Math grades 3-9) and Alaska Science (grades 5, 8, 10). School-level All Students rollup scraped from the per-school assessment-results pages on education.alaska.gov. Headline metric is the cumulative "Advanced + Proficient" rate (top 2 of 4 levels).
How often is it updated?
AK STAR + Alaska Science is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
