District-Level NCES Analysis

Yukon Flats School District operates 6 public schools serving 197 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Alaska. The school portfolio breaks down into 6 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 175 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is geographically located in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $63,202 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 1.7% local, 45.1% state, and 53.2% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $166,972 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts.

and 29.0% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 7.3% White, 1.5% African American across the district's schools.

Fort Yukon School accounts for 43.4% of all Yukon Flats School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Yukon Flats School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Yukon Flats School District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 91.5% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Yukon Flats School District chronic absenteeism rate is 29.0% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Yukon Flats School District is typically wider than the Yukon Flats School District-aggregate figure suggests.
