During the ten years between 1950 and 1960, Alaska's school
age population increased 137.8 per cent, currently totaling 58,362
children.
Although Alaska experienced the greatest percentage growth
of any state, it still has the least school-age children. Alaska
remains 50th in the states in per
centage of older people in the popu
lation, according to the annual Na
tional Education Association report
published recently.
Ages 65 and over comprise only
2 4 per cent of the total, but that
represents an increase of 13 per
cent from 1950.
Alaska, with the smallest school
enrollment of elementary and sec
ondary school pupils increased the
most proportionally. 164.4 per cent.
Public school enrollment comprises
26 per cent of the total population.
The average length of this state's
school term is 172 days with only
four states having a shorter year.
Mississippi's runs for 170 days and
Missouri's runs for 182.
About 44 per cent of the total
■elementary-secondary enrollment is
in nonpublic schools.
Teacher Standards
Alaska ranks 18th among the
states in the number of elementary
-classroom teachers with less than
Standard certificates, and 28th as to
secondary teachers. The percentages
of substandard teachers are 2.9 and 3
respectively. The state is also first
in the average salary of its class
room teachers. $7,300. (Buying Pow
er Adjustment: $5,402: 22nd.)
The state is also first in the salary
of its public school instructional
staffs, $7,650 (PBA. $5,660; 18th).
From the last school year to the
current one. the average instruc
ts nal staff salary in Alaska in
creased by 9.3 per cent; this rate
was exceed d only in North Caro
lina and Texas. Over the decade,
the increase was S3.3 per cent,
which put Alaska fourth place in
this regard.
The median school years com
pleted bv persons 25 years old and
elder. I960, was 12.1. Alaska was
•exceeded Only by Utah in educa
tiorfel attainment. The Alaska per
centage of Selective Service regis
tra-fts failing the mental test in
19C3 was 11.3. thus rank ng the state
35th with Montana leading, having
cn.y a 4.7 per c°nt failure, and Mis
si'-ippi last with a failure rate of
36.5 per cent.
Financirl Resources
Alaska per capita personal income
for I960 was $2,735. and Alaska was
the sixth highest state (BPA $2,024;
26th).
Alaska lagged behind every other
state in the per cent of increase in
per capita personal income during
the-decade of the 50s with the rate
at 22.6 per cent.
In the amount of revenue for pub
lic elementary and secondary
schools received from the Federal
government in the current school
year, Alaska again led all the states
with 25.6 per cent, amounting to
$245 (BPA $181) per capita.
The per capita total .general reve
nue of state r rid local governments
in Alaska. 1960. amounted to $384.21
ranking our state third highest
<PBA $234.32; 24th). This figure
•comprised £.4 per cent of personal
income, making Alaska almost last
in the slice of personal income taken
Tor state and local revenue. Only
two Estates, Missouri and Delaware,
take! less. The Alaska average was
$160.53 (BPA $118.79).
As distinguished from general
revenue for state and local govern
ments, the per capita total tax col
lections of state and local govern
ments, I960, as a percent of personal
income amounted to 3.8 per cent.
