Upstream Learning Correspondence

Summary:

Upstream Learning Correspondence is an alternative public school located in Glennallen, Alaska, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Copper River School District, which is ranked 12th out of 24 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Upstream Learning Correspondence consistently outperforms the Copper River School District and the state of Alaska in various academic assessments, including ASA/Science, STAR/English Language Arts, and STAR/Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 50% of Upstream Learning Correspondence students were proficient or better in ASA/Science for all grades, compared to 48.65% for the Copper River School District and 36.94% for the state. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority of White students and a smaller percentage of Native American students. Additionally, Upstream Learning Correspondence has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a relatively affluent student population.

One potential area of concern is the school's extremely high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 70.5 in 2022-2023 to 82.3 in 2021-2022. This high ratio may impact the quality of individual attention and support that students receive, which is often associated with better student outcomes. Overall, Upstream Learning Correspondence appears to be a high-performing school, but the lack of racial diversity and the high student-teacher ratio may be areas for further examination and potential improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
