Alaska Department of Education and Early Development System for School Success
As part of the ongoing implementation of Alaska’s Education Challenge, the Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) is working with school districts to support success in every school. For the fourth year, utilizing Alaska’s plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) as a strategy for closing our achievement gaps, the accountability system was implemented to help celebrate success and identify areas where additional support is needed, with the goal of increasing achievement for all students. The Overall School Index Value is an important piece of this new System for School Success, which provides information about how each school is supporting its students.
Per BP 0510, Valdez City Schools must publish District and School Report Cards for the public to view. These report cards present information about performance for the 2022-2023 school year.
