Lake and Peninsula Borough School District

Headquartered at 101 Jensen Drive in King Salmon, Alaska, the Lake and Peninsula Borough School District serves as a vital educational anchor across a vast, remote rural landscape. As an active, non-charter public school system, the district operates 11 operational schools that deliver comprehensive learning programs spanning from prekindergarten all the way through twelfth grade. The district supports a close-knit student body of 320 enrolled learners, consisting of 164 female and 156 male students. Deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of the region, the student body prominently features 244 American Indian and Alaska Native students, alongside 37 multiracial and 37 White students, creating a supportive, community-centered learning environment tailored to its geographic setting.

To meet the distinct educational and logistical demands of its spread-out rural communities, the district leverages a remarkably strong staffing framework. Supported by a total workforce of nearly 205 full-time equivalent personnel, the district employs approximately 79 full-time equivalent teachers, resulting in an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly four to one. This instructional team is bolstered by nearly 15 full-time equivalent instructional aides and 111 support staff members, ensuring that every school site is well-equipped to deliver individualized academic attention and robust student services.
