Cities, towns and boroughs /’b rə/ (адміністрати́вний о́круг).
Alaska is not divided into counties, as most of the other U.S. states, but it is
divided into boroughs. Many of the more densely populated parts of the state
are part of Alaska's 16 boroughs, which function somewhat similarly to
counties in other states.
Anchorage (officially called the Municipality of Anchorage) is a
unified home rule municipality /mju:’n s ,pæl t / in the southcentral part
of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is the northernmost city in the United States
with more than 100,000 residents and the largest community in North
America north.
Education. Public education in Anchorage, Eagle River, Chugiak, Fort
Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base is managed by the Anchorage
School District, the 87th largest district in the United States, with nearly
50,000 students attending 98 schools. There are also a number of choices in
private education, including both religious and non-denominational schools.
Anchorage has four higher-education facilities that offer bachelor's or
master's degrees: the University of Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Pacific
University, Charter College, and the Anchorage campus of Texas-based
Wayland Baptist University. The University of Alaska Fairbanks also has a
small Center for Distance Education center downtown.
Ninety percent of Anchorage's adults have high-school diplomas, 65
percent have attended one to three years of college, and 17 percent hold
advanced degrees.
