Warrior Proud! 🤩
Good Morning Warrior Nation,
I wanted to give a HUGE shoutout to our wonderful school community of students, teachers and parents/guardians. Our semester I data was off the charts! Many might not know, but I was a former basketball coach and I am very competitive. I enjoy being #1. Our Wasilla High School community should be very proud of the academic accomplishments and gains we are making. Your student(s) attend a great school. Following is our semester I data:
1. Course pass rate: 96% (this means that only 4% of our population failed a class or multiple classes). WHS has the highest pass rate in the district among high schools.
2. Discipline: 3% (it is actually 2.7% but we rounded it up). This is the lowest semester I suspension data we have had since this current administration started. Our lowest has always been in semester II. For perspective, when this current administration started, the out of school suspension rate data was 24%. We attribute this success to the structure and predictability WHS has for students. Too, it stresses to our community that WHS continues to have a great school culture and climate.
3. District common assessment data: The district's common assessments for Algebra I and English I were taken in December by all students in the district who were in these classes. This common assessment tests essential skills and is tied to Alaska State Standards. Historical data shows that doing well in both Algebra I and English I correlate to success in high school and, ultimately, graduation. Dr. Trani stopped by last Friday to congratulate WHS on our exceptional results. Our students outscored all other high schools in the Mat-Su Valley by about 6% on both of these assessments. Our teachers and students are doing wonderful things!
As always, please reach out if you have questions and thank you for sharing your children with us!
