What this school's NCES data tells you
St Paul School reports 61 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 3.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 17.3:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 13% below the Alaska state mean of 20:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 9% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 73.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Pribilof School District spends $57,443 per pupil district-wide, above the Alaska average of $36,093 and above the national average of $19,490. Revenue comes 11.2% from local sources (property taxes), 59.0% from the state, and 29.8% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 20/100 (F), calculated from 3 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
