It serves kindergarten through grade five. It includes a dormitory which houses students on weekdays; students visit their houses on weekends. In 2021 the administration of the school stated that its financial situation is tight which means the school has to be careful about how it spends its money. According to Alden Woods of the Arizona Republic, "Hunters Point Boarding School represents the challenges and opportunities facing BIE schools across the country."
