Juneau Borough School District

The Juneau Borough School District in Alaska serves a diverse student population across 15 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district's schools generally outperform the state average on academic measures, with standout performers like Juneau Community Charter School and Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at KalT.

The district's schools serve a diverse student population, with significant percentages of white, Native American, and multi-racial students. Test scores vary, with the district generally exceeding state averages in Science and English Language Arts, but lagging in Mathematics. Socioeconomic diversity is also evident, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 8.51% at Montessori Borealis Public Alternative School to 89.86% at Yaakoosge Daakahidi Alternative High School.

The data suggests a potential correlation between higher spending per student, lower student-teacher ratios, and stronger academic outcomes. Schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates, such as Yaakoosge Daakahidi Alternative High School, tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the Juneau Borough School District.
