Summary:

The 99835 zip code area is home to three high schools: Mt. Edgecumbe High School, Sitka High School, and Pacific High School. While the schools share a geographic location, their academic performance and quality vary significantly.

Sitka High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 8th out of 60 Alaska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school exceeds state averages in science, English language arts, and math proficiency, and the Sitka School District is ranked 2nd out of 24 districts in the state. In contrast, Mt. Edgecumbe High School and Pacific High School lag behind, with rankings in the bottom half and bottom quarter of Alaska high schools, respectively.

The data reveals that Mt. Edgecumbe High School faces unique challenges, with a very high free and reduced lunch rate of 78.05% and significantly higher per-student spending of $28,907. While these factors may indicate efforts to support economically disadvantaged students, the school's academic performance remains below state averages. Overall, the 99835 zip code area presents a mixed educational landscape, with Sitka High School as the standout performer and the other two schools struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students.
