Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District serves 19,705 students across 49 schools in a town locale in Alaska. The district experienced modest enrollment growth of 2.0% in the prior year and maintains a traditional K-12 structure with 25 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 11 high schools staffed by 998 teachers.
The district's graduation rate of 84.3% exceeds Alaska's state average of 77.2%, indicating above-average high school completion rates. The student-teacher ratio of 19.7:1 reflects a moderate staffing level relative to enrollment size.
The district's financial profile presents a notable contrast with state norms. Per-pupil spending of $8,951 is substantially lower than Alaska's state average of $27,476, representing a 67.4% gap. The district's total operating budget of $322.4 million is allocated across three primary revenue sources: state funding comprises the largest share at 69.6%, followed by local revenue at 20.2%, and federal funding at 10.2%. This funding distribution suggests reliance on state support while maintaining meaningful local investment.
The combination of strong graduation outcomes with significantly lower per-pupil expenditures compared to the state average suggests varying resource efficiency within the district's operations. The stable, modest enrollment growth indicates a stable population base serving the Matanuska-Susitna region.
