Summary

Upstream Learning Correspondence is an alternative public school located in Glennallen, Alaska, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 120 students. As part of the Copper River School District, which is ranked 5th out of 24 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Upstream Learning Correspondence consistently outperforms the district and the state of Alaska in various academic assessments, including ASA/Science, STAR/English Language Arts, and PEAKS/Mathematics.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rate in ASA/Science is 62.5%, compared to 34.78% for the district and 34.89% for the state. The school's proficiency rates in STAR/English Language Arts and STAR/Mathematics are also higher than the district and state averages across multiple grade levels. However, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 70.5 in the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years to 82.3 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is significantly higher than the typical student-teacher ratio and may impact the quality of individual attention and personalized learning opportunities for students.

The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,883, which provides a baseline for understanding the school's resource allocation and potential impact on student outcomes. Overall, Upstream Learning Correspondence appears to be a high-performing alternative school within the Copper River School District, with strong academic outcomes that exceed district and state averages, but the school's high student-teacher ratio and potential resource allocation considerations warrant further investigation to understand the factors contributing to its success and identify areas for improvement or optimization.
