Summary:
The 99780 zip code area in Alaska is home to 4 alternative schools, all part of the Alaska Gateway School District. These specialized schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with a focus on providing personalized and well-resourced educational experiences.
Among the standout schools in this area, Tok School stands out with its relatively large student population of 185 and diverse racial makeup. Tok School also boasts higher test scores compared to the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade science and math. In contrast, Tetlin School and Mentasta Lake School have very small student populations of 38 and 34, respectively, but serve an almost exclusively Native American student body.
Across all 4 schools, the data reveals high spending per student, ranging from $22,435 at Alaska REACH Academy to $37,469 at Mentasta Lake School. This investment in resources is reflected in the low student-teacher ratios, which vary from 38.8 at Alaska REACH Academy to as low as 8.2 at Mentasta Lake School. While test scores are generally below state averages, the data suggests that these alternative schools are focused on providing personalized and well-supported educational experiences for their students.
