Haines Borough School District

The Haines Borough School District in Alaska is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population, with a notable representation of Native American students at Haines Elementary.

Haines High School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Alaska. The school's strong academic performance, with high proficiency rates in science and English Language Arts, is particularly impressive given its relatively high free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a low-income student population. Haines Elementary also demonstrates commendable academic achievement, with standout science proficiency scores.

The district's commitment to providing diverse educational options is evident in the presence of Haines Home School, an alternative public school that offers a homeschooling-like environment. While this school has a significantly lower spending per student compared to the district's traditional schools, it serves a unique role in meeting the needs of families who prefer a more personalized educational approach.
