Summary

Klawock City School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Klawock, Alaska, with a student population of 133. The school stands out for its strong science proficiency, consistently outperforming the state average, but faces challenges in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics compared to the state.

Klawock City School spends significantly more per student, at $34,935, than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.6 to 10.1 over the past three years. This suggests a potentially more personalized learning environment.
