CROW VILLAGE SAM SCHOOL

Crow Village Sam School is a Title I public school that is part of the Kuspuk School District school district, located in Chuathbaluk, AK with about 21 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 2 teachers, Crow Village Sam School has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Crow Village Sam School is a public K-12 educational institution located in the remote village of Chuathbaluk, Alaska. Situated along the Kuskokwim River, the school is part of the Kuspuk School District, which serves several small, rural communities in the region. As a remote village school, it functions as a central hub for the local community, providing essential educational services to a small student population in an environment defined by its unique geographic isolation and rich Alaska Native cultural heritage.

The school operates under the mission and administrative framework of the Kuspuk School District, which emphasizes academic growth, student well-being, and community engagement. Because of its location, the school emphasizes culturally responsive teaching practices, aiming to integrate local traditions and the Yup’ik heritage of the region into the classroom experience. By maintaining a connection to the Kuspuk district’s resources, Crow Village Sam School strives to prepare its students for future success, whether they pursue higher education or career paths within or outside of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
