This study utilized bivariate correlations, partial correlations, multivariate analysis including Hotelling-T, and observed power to investigate the possible correlations and connections of teacher turnover in Alaska's public school system to performance on the standards-based assessment of the Alaska High School Qualifying Exam (HSQE). The study focused on the results in the content area of mathematics involving the 10^th grade standards-based assessment (SBA).

Results from the study indicate two primary correlations exist as applied to the proficiency levels on the mathematics portion of the 10^th grade mathematics SBA, teacher turnover and percent Alaska Native of school population.

The results indicate that teacher turnover is statistically significant with an inverse relationship in relation to standards-based test scores, and the students most likely being impacted by teacher turnover are located in Alaska school districts that have large Alaska Native student populations.
