Diverse information is compiled to begin to address the question of how well students in Alaska are achieving. In 1987, each of the 55 districts in Alaska submitted results of its standardized testing program for Reading, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics, Mathematics Problem Solving, and Language Arts for the three school years from 1984-85 through 1986-87. Results were combined with information describing the students of each district, the nature of the school, the classroom environment, and characteristics of the testing program. State-wide results and the 55 individual school district profiles developed are included in this report. Each district description is supplemented with graphs to illustrate trends in the period. Seven major tests are used in Alaska in the various districts, they include the: (1) California Achievement Tests; (2) Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills; (3) Iowa Test of Basic Skills/Test of Achievement and Proficiency; (4) Metropolitan Achievement Test; (5) Science Research Associates (SRA) Achievement Series; (6) SRA Survey of Basic Skills; and (7) Stanford Achievement Test. Because of this diversity, it is not appropriate to compare one district with another. With enrollment levels in the 55 districts at 98,319 in 1985, 102,756 in 1986, and 101,877 in 1987, Alaskan students scored consistently higher than the national average in almost every area for the three years studied.
