Summary

Alaska Native Cultural Charter School is an elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska that serves grades PK-8 and has 274 students. The school is part of the Anchorage School District, which is ranked 14 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Despite its cultural focus, Alaska Native Cultural Charter School consistently performs below the Anchorage School District and state averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.54% of students were proficient or better in science, compared to 39.69% for the district and 37.87% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking 25 out of 28 Alaska elementary schools for Native American students and 96 out of 125 for low socioeconomic status students. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade and ranks in the bottom quarter of Alaska elementary schools.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Anchorage School District, such as Nunaka Valley Elementary and Winterberry School, Alaska Native Cultural Charter School performs significantly worse across academic metrics. The school's extremely high free and reduced lunch rates, reaching 100% in recent years, indicate that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the school's academic struggles.
