About Lower Kuskokwim School District
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
One of Alaska's largest rural districts LKSD services a 22,000 square mile area roughly the size of the state of West Virginia. Approximately 3900 students (K-12) of mostly Yup'ik (Eskimo) heritage are served by the district's 345 teachers and numerous paraprofessionals. One-fifth of the certified teachers are Yup'ik, the greatest percentage of indigenous educators of any district in Alaska.
