Delta/Greely School District

The Delta/Greely School District in Alaska is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Among these schools, Delta Junction Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating. The school's test scores, particularly in mathematics and science, are significantly above the district and state averages, with 72.67% of students proficient or better in STAR Mathematics, compared to 52.79% for the district and 31.11% for the state.

Another standout is Alaska Homeschool, an alternative school that serves students in grades PK-12. While the school's overall test scores are more mixed, it has excelled in certain areas, such as 62.5% proficiency in STAR English Language Arts for 6th grade, compared to 42.42% for the district and 35.92% for the state. The district's schools also exhibit a relatively diverse student population, with Delta Junction Elementary having the most diverse student body, with 73.82% White, 11.98% Hispanic, and 10.31% two or more races.

The data also reveals variations in performance and spending across the schools in the Delta/Greely School District. While Delta Junction Senior High School has the highest spending per student at $17,470, it does not necessarily have the best performance outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be more important in driving student achievement.
