Summary:
The city of Glennallen, Alaska is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Upstream Learning Correspondence, Glennallen Elementary, and Glennallen Junior/Senior High School. These schools serve a diverse student population within the Copper River School District.
Among the three schools, Upstream Learning Correspondence stands out with exceptional test scores that consistently exceed district and state averages, particularly in science and math. However, this alternative school has a very high student-teacher ratio of 70.5, which could be a concern. In contrast, Glennallen Elementary and Glennallen Junior/Senior High School have larger populations of economically disadvantaged and minority students, which may contribute to their lower test scores compared to the district and state.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student, with Glennallen Junior/Senior High School spending the most at $26,051 per student, followed by Glennallen Elementary at $20,833 and Upstream Learning Correspondence at $9,883. These disparities in resource allocation may contribute to the varying educational outcomes observed across the schools.
