NENANA CITY SCHOOL

Nenana City School is a Title I public school that is part of the Nenana City School District school district, located in Nenana, AK with about 177 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 14 teachers, Nenana City School has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

By integrating local Alaskan values with a modern curriculum, the school aims to prepare its students for both regional opportunities and global challenges.
