The school is the only public education option for youth in the settlement and serves approximately 74 students.

The administration of the school is the responsibility of the South Slave Divisional Education Council (SSDEC).

Previously, students wishing to finish their high school education were required to attend classes in Fort Smith at Paul William Kaeser High School as a part of either regular boarding programs or the Western Arctic Leadership Program.

Compared with their peers elsewhere in Canada, students in Lutsel K'e spend more significant amounts of educational time on the land and learning about their cultural heritage.

As he notes in the referenced video, following the implementation of the South Slave Divisional Education Council's Leadership for Literacy initiative, the number of students scoring at or above the Canadian national standard went from 30 percent in 2006 to above 70 percent in 2012.
