Education

Nine categories were offered as fixed responses to obtain information about respondents’ education. Almost 40% of the respondents had a high school diploma or GED. Approximately one third indicated their educational level was beyond high school. The educational level of respondents is similar to the general Alaska population (2000 Census). Table 3 displays specific responses.
