In an effort to continue the awareness of Ketchikan School District's educational performance, the following data has been mined from the state's report. The two segments of the report are given below for personal review on a State wide basis.
One has to realize in reviewing the data the state as a whole pretty much has failed to meet the educational goals desired, measured by a test the State has deemed a reasonable process to measure that progress.
What is this test measured against? No idea. Perhaps the State has changed the test so frequently that benchmarks are non-existence other than a barnyard comparison.
The data for Ketchikan schools excludes two schools, Houghtaling and Tongass Schools of Arts and Science. There is no reason provided with in the results for these buildings. http://alaskapolicyforum.org/AK_peaks/ provides this reported information.
