The mission of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District is to provide an excellent and equitable education in a safe, supportive environment so all students can become productive members of a diverse and changing society.
We are delighted to welcome you to the Yukon-Koyukuk School District (YKSD). District boundaries fall within the Yukon-Koyukuk Census area. The YK Census area makes up only 1 percent (approximately 6,150 residents) of the state’s total population. The District’s nine village schools are located along the Yukon, Koyukuk and Tanana river systems, a geographic area larger than the state of Washington (encompassing about 65,000 square miles of territory). More than 98% of the district’s 303 river school students are Alaska Native (Athabascan). The district also sponsors a statewide correspondence program called Raven Correspondence School. There are approximately 1,100 full-time students enrolled in Raven during the 2010-2-11 school year. District-wide, YKSD serves 1,403 full-time students.
