American Samoa spans 76 square miles across five volcanic islands — Tutuila, Aunu’u, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta’u — and two uninhabited coral atolls. The territory is home to 46,746 residents, 97 percent of whom live on the main island of Tutuila. Samoan is spoken by 97 percent of residents; English by 44 percent.
The most recent complete NCES data for American Samoa (2020) recorded 10,246 students enrolled in PreK–12 across 26 schools — representing just under a quarter of the territory’s total resident population.
