Best Public Schools in Zip Code 99737

Summary:

The 99737 zip code area is home to a strong educational system, with 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school. These schools are part of the Delta/Greely School District, which is ranked 3rd out of 24 districts in Alaska and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Two schools stand out as exceptional performers in the area. Delta Junction Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 16 elementary schools in Alaska, with a 5-star rating and test scores significantly above the state and district averages. Similarly, Delta Junction Senior High School ranks 6th out of 60 high schools in Alaska, with a 5-star rating and impressive science proficiency rates.

The alternative schools in the area, such as Alaska Homeschool, Gerstle River School, and Dot Lake School, serve a unique population of students and have lower test scores compared to the traditional public schools. However, the high spending per student at Dot Lake School, which is more than double the amount spent at other schools, suggests the need to provide specialized services for its small student body of 12 students.
