GERSTLE RIVER SCHOOL

Gerstle River School is a public school that is part of the Delta/Greely School District school district, located in Delta Junction, AK with about 27 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Gerstle River School has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Gerstle River School is a small, rural educational facility located at Milepost 1392 of the Alaska Highway in Delta Junction, Alaska. As part of the Delta/Greely School District, the school serves as a localized learning center designed to meet the specific needs of students in this remote region of the state. Because of its geographic isolation, the school emphasizes a close-knit community atmosphere and provides essential K-8 instruction to families living along the highway corridor.

The school operates with a focus on delivering the district’s core curriculum while navigating the unique logistical challenges of the Alaskan interior. By maintaining a presence in this remote location, Gerstle River School ensures that children in the area have access to public education without the need for lengthy daily commutes to larger hubs. Prospective parents and community members can find additional information regarding school policies, academic calendars, and district resources through the official Delta/Greely School District website at [www.dgsd.us](http://www.dgsd.us).
