Haines schools and the Haines community really believe that Kids Come First!


Posted March 16, 2006

This is a good school, with committed teachers and active parent participation. It has a terrific art program. It has a good sports program, considering the weather. The swim program is wonderful. The school subscribes to the Tribes program for building character skills. Good technology program. No Home Ec. A new school is being built this year.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Alaska used the Standards Based Assessment (SBA) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, math and writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in science. The SBA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alaska. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
