Summary

Sand Point School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 89 students, located in the remote, rural community of Sand Point, Alaska and part of the Aleutians East Borough School District.

Sand Point School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic assessments, with projected proficiency rates of 41.67% in science and 38.64% in English language arts for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 37.78% and 30% for the district, and 37.87% and 32.69% for the state, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 3rd and 7th grade English language arts, as well as 8th grade mathematics. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 8.0 to 11.1, Sand Point School may be able to provide more personalized attention to its students, which could contribute to its academic success.

In the 2018-2019 school year, Sand Point School spent $41,083 per student, significantly higher than the state average. This level of funding may provide the school with additional resources to support student learning. However, the available data on free and reduced lunch rates is incomplete, making it difficult to draw conclusions about the socioeconomic profile of the student population and its potential impact on the school's performance.
