SCHOOL REPORT CARDfor 2014-2015 SCHOOL YEAR

School: / Merreline A. Kangas School / District: / Yukon Koyukuk School District
Grade span: / K-12 / School Enrollment: / 29
ASPI Score: / from 2013-2014: 76.46 / Star Rating: / from 2013-2014: ***
Title I School? / YES / Title I Program: / Schoolwide
Accreditation: / NCA

A Title I school receives federal money to support low-achieving students. A Schoolwide Title I Program uses the money to improve the education for all students. A Targeted Assistance Title I Program uses the money to provide help for students who need it most.

This School Report Card presents information about the school’s performance for the 2014-2015 school year. The new Alaska Measures of Progress assessments in English language arts and mathematics were given for the first time in spring 2015. These two new assessments replaced the former Standards Based Assessments (SBAs) in reading, writing and mathematics.

A new reporting category beginning in 2014-2015 is the “Active Duty” category. This category identifies whether the student has a parent/guardian on active duty in any branch of the uniformed services of the United States, the Alaska National Guard, the Alaska Naval Militia, or the Alaska State Defense Force. In 2014, the Legislature amended AS 14.03.120 as part of HB 278. The State Board of Education subsequently amended regulations 4 AAC 06.895(l) and 4 AAC 06.899 creating and defining the subgroup for “students from families on active military duty” and requiring reporting by this subgroup on school, district, and state report cards.

For 2014-2015, there will be no Alaska School Performance Index (ASPI) reports as the accountability system has been “paused” for the new assessments.The ASPI score and star rating reported above are the same as those for the 2013-2014 school year. Under ASPI, each school receives a score on a 100-point scale and a star rating from 5-stars (highest) to 1-star. The ASPI score and star rating give an overall picture of how well the school is doing to prepare the students to be college-, career- and culturally ready graduates.

For 2014-2015, schools received an Accountability Indicators Report that reports the percentage of full-academic year students in the school, district, and state that met the standards (at achievement Levels 3 and 4) in English language arts and mathematics, along with the participation rates, attendance rates, and graduation rates for all students and subgroups.A copy of that report is found at the end of this School Report Card.

More information about the accountability system for schools can be found on the Department of Education & Early Development website at: education.alaska.gov.

Two-Year Trend for District Students Scoring Proficient or Above by Grade Level on the SCIENCE Standards Based Assessment (SBA)
A two-year trend for students meeting standards on the new English language arts and Mathematics assessments is not applicable for 2014-2015 as these are new assessments. Two-year trends for English language arts and Math will be reported starting in 2015-2016.
