Alaska Department of Education & Early Development
This "Report Card to the Public, a Summary of Statistics from Alaska's Public Schools," is published in accordance with Alaska Statute 14.03.120 for the school year 2005-2006. This publication reports the status of public education in Alaska. It is a source of information for Alaska's educational policymakers, including legislators, the Governor, the State Board of Education & Early development, local boards of education, parents and communities. Under state law, each school district is required to report information about its plans and performance to its community. This publication is a statewide summary of those reports. Readers can learn information about Alaska education at a glance; see the vision and mission statements that energize the Alaska Department of Education & Early development; and review the performance and participation rate of students statewide on assessments in reading, writing and math from grades 3 to 10 and in their state's high school graduation qualifying examination. The report also shows how Alaskan students perform on college admission tests such as the SATs and the ACTs. The report also provides information about graduation and attendance rates statewide.
