Abstract	The evaluation of the Iditarod Area School District small high schools program provided useful information for future program development. The 1978 program for 87 students in 9 scattered schools included: student travel within Alaska and in the lower 48 states; student travel within the district for mini-courses and a student congress; and the Secondary Training for Alaska Rural Schools (STARS) Program and Ken Cook Vocational Program used as a core curriculum. On questionnaires students and teachers indicated that out-of-district travel brought substantial educational benefit, but Community School Committee Members (CSCM's) were not so positive. All felt the need for even distribution of travel among the student population and better planning and preparation. Students and teachers placed less value on in-district travel. The mini-courses helped students make friends and learn new skills but had limited academic value. Students and teachers rated the Ken Cook program as more successful than STARS, but students preferred to travel to other locations for vocational programs. The evaluation also concerned program expectations and priorities. CSCM's and students felt strongly that the program should include preparation for employment. CSCM's desired bilingual education and wanted greater involvement in decision making. (SB)
