Summary:
The 99926 zip code area is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Annette Island School District. Unfortunately, these schools are consistently underperforming, with significantly lower test scores and rankings compared to state averages. The student population is predominantly Native American, and the schools have very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of poverty in the community.
None of the schools in the 99926 zip code area can be considered standouts. Richard Johnson Elementary, Metlakatla High School, and Charles R. Leask Senior Middle School all have proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly below the state averages. The schools are also ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Alaska, with the middle school receiving a 0-star rating.
Despite the relatively high spending per student (ranging from $28,342 to $37,892) and low student-teacher ratios (8.7 to 9.9 students per teacher), the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes. This suggests a systemic issue within the Annette Island School District that needs to be addressed, potentially through more effective allocation and utilization of resources, as well as targeted interventions to support the high-poverty, predominantly Native American student population.
