Summary:
The 99743 zip code in Alaska is home to two alternative schools serving grades PK-12: Denali PEAK with 745 students and Tri-Valley School with 155 students. Both schools are part of the Denali Borough School District.
Based on the data, Tri-Valley School appears to be the standout school in this set, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, Tri-Valley School's 10th grade science proficiency rate is 69.23% compared to the district's 58.33% and the state's 34.89%. Additionally, Tri-Valley School's all-grades proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics are all higher than the district and state averages.
The data also reveals notable differences between the two schools. Tri-Valley School spends $24,256 per student, significantly more than the $5,122 spent per student at Denali PEAK. Tri-Valley School also has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 9.2 compared to Denali PEAK's 144.1. These factors may contribute to Tri-Valley School's stronger academic performance. However, without information on the free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic demographics and their potential impact on the schools' outcomes.
