ZIP code 99661 contains just one school — Sand Point School — a small, remote PK-12 alternative school in Sand Point, Alaska that serves about 85 students across 14 grade levels within the Aleutians East Borough School District. Because Sand Point School is the only school in this ZIP code, there are no nearby schools to compare it to; instead, the most meaningful comparisons are against its district and the state of Alaska.

Sand Point School outperforms its district in all reported all-grade subjects. In SY 2025-2026, it scored 27.27% proficient in science (vs. 14.29% for the district), 30.95% in ELA (vs. 25.3% for the district), and 19.05% in math (vs. 16.87% for the district). Even more notable, 9th graders scored 55.56% proficient in ELA and 44.44% in math — well above the state averages of 31.23% and 17.91%. The school's graduation rate is 88.8%, nearly 8 points higher than the district's 81.2%.

With a low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.1 and per-student spending of $41,083, Sand Point School provides substantial resources per student — a common pattern for remote Alaskan schools. However, because enrollment is only about 85 students, percentage swings can be misleading. Schoolwide proficiency declined from SY 2024-2025 to SY 2025-2026 in all three tested subjects, with science dropping from 41.67% to 27.27%. Free/reduced lunch data was not reported. Overall, despite its "Alternative" label and mixed grade-level results, Sand Point School offers a solid graduation rate and shines at key grade levels.
