Summary:
The 99926 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Annette Island School District. While the schools have relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, they are consistently underperforming academically compared to state averages.
None of the schools in the 99926 zip code area stand out as high-performing. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are low across all grade levels and schools. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rate in English Language Arts for all grades at Richard Johnson Elementary was 25.93%, compared to the state average of 32.69%. The highest proficiency rate was in 5th grade Mathematics at Richard Johnson Elementary, where 50% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 39.89%.
The schools in the 99926 zip code area serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.57% at Metlakatla High School to 94.81% at Charles R. Leask Senior Middle School. Despite the relatively high funding and resources, the schools are struggling to improve academic outcomes, suggesting a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the low performance.
