Profile interpretation
What the reported data says about Main Elementary
Main Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 04–05 in Kodiak. It is one of 11 current school records connected to Kodiak Island Borough School District. NCES reports 177 students for 2024–25.
Among 161 elementary schools in Alaska with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 290 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 17th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 12.2:1, below the Alaska median of 15.7:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Asian (48.6%) and White (21.5%). English learners represent 67.8% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 18.6%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
