ANNA TOBELUK MEMORIAL SCHOOL

Anna Tobeluk Memorial School is a Title I public school that is part of the Lower Kuskokwim School District school district, located in Nunapitchuk, AK with about 211 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Anna Tobeluk Memorial School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Anna Tobeluk Memorial School, located in the remote village of Nunapitchuk, Alaska, serves as a vital educational hub within the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD). As a K-12 institution, the school is deeply integrated into the fabric of its community, providing instruction that balances state academic standards with the unique cultural heritage of the local Yup'ik population. Given the school's isolated location in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, it operates as a central resource for students who face the logistical challenges of living in a fly-in, roadless region of Western Alaska.

The school is committed to fostering academic achievement while promoting the preservation of Indigenous language and traditions. As part of the broader LKSD network, Anna Tobeluk Memorial School emphasizes professional development for its staff and utilizes technology to overcome geographical barriers, ensuring students have access to a comprehensive curriculum. By focusing on both rigorous scholastic goals and the values of the surrounding community, the school aims to prepare its students for future success, whether they choose to pursue higher education or contribute to the local village economy.
