What stands out about how Klawock is run
Read from the city’s budget and official records.
Klawock City School District
Klawock’s K–12 school district. The schools are run by Klawock, so this money is part of the budget above.
Of the $40,008 per pupil, $25,271 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Alaska districts overall: 24% local, 55% state, 21% federal.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Klawock runs its own schools, so school spending is part of this budget.
Klawock didn’t report all of its 2024 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.
