Razdolna School is a Title I public school that is part of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District school district, located in Homer, AK with about 93 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.
