Lower Yukon School District

Lower Yukon School District is a school district headquartered in Mountain Village, Alaska, serving the Kusilvak Census Area. As of the 2017-18 school year, it has 1,998 students across 10 schools.[1] 91% are American Indian or Alaska Native and 5% are multiracial.[2]

Schools

The district operates only K-12 schools due to the small and isolated nature of the villages within the district. Each village has one school.[3] High school students have the option of applying out-of-district to the state's public boarding schools, Nenana Student Living Center and Mt. Edgecumbe High School.[4]

High school juniors and seniors may apply to spend nine-week sessions at Kusilvak Career Academy, a residential program that allows students to take career and technical education classes in Anchorage.[5]

Former schools

Pitkas Point School served eight students in pre-K through eighth grade and shut down after that 2011-12 school year.[6] Students from Pitkas Point now attend school in St. Mary's, which operates its own school district.[7]

gollark: Actually, over here at least, degrees lead to higher total earnings.
gollark: gollark Today at 12:53Logic puzzle:You are trapped in a labyrinth. There are some doors. One of them leads out. One of them leads into a lethal cryoapiary.There are two gollarks in front of the doors. One gollark speaks the truth, one gollark always lies. You suddenly notice other gollarks appearing. The other gollark tells the truth or lies at random. The other² gollark is truthful iff your question does not refer to itself or other gollarks. The other³ gollark calls in orbital laser strikes against those it perceives as asking tricky questions. The other⁴ gollark is truthful iff it predicts (with 99.6% historical accuracy) that you will consider it (one of) the falsehood-telling gollark(s). A subset of the gollarks will say "bee" and "apioform" instead of "true" or "false", but you do not know which or which words "bee" and "apioform" correspond to. The other⁴ gollark just tells you the first bit of the SHA256 hash of your question in UTF-8. Another gollark appears to be randomly materializing doors. The other⁵ gollark will cooperate with you iff you cooperate with CooperateBot/angel. Yet another gollark will tell the truth iff you know what iff means. The final gollark appears to be fiddling with the orbital mind control laser making you know this.What do you do?
gollark: I will copypaste the text maybe.
