Summary

Chugiak Elementary is a mid-sized public school serving roughly 439 students in grades PK–6 in Chugiak, Alaska, within the Anchorage School District. For the 2025–2026 school year, it ranks 30th out of 166 Alaska elementary schools—placing it comfortably in the top 20% statewide with a strong 4-star rating.

What truly sets this school apart is academic performance, especially in math and science. In 2025–2026, about 60% of Chugiak students were proficient in math and 66% in science—nearly double the state averages of 32% and 38%. English language arts proficiency (around 49%) also runs well above the state's 33% average. The math story starts early: 70% of 3rd graders hit proficiency, compared with just 34% districtwide. Among nearby Anchorage elementary schools, only Ravenwood Elementary and Eagle Academy Charter School post higher scores, while Chugiak outpaces Homestead Elementary, Birchwood ABC Elementary, Eagle River Elementary, Alpenglow Elementary, and Fire Lake Elementary in most subjects.

Chugiak also stands out as an efficient school: per-pupil spending of roughly $12,355 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.3-to-1 are both leaner than most neighboring schools, yet results remain strong. Students from military-connected, low-income, and special education backgrounds all rank in the 70th–80th percentile statewide—a noteworthy sign of equity. The school's only real stumble came in 2024–2025, when rankings briefly dipped to the 56th percentile before bouncing back to the 82nd percentile the very next year, suggesting that downturn was an anomaly. While Ravenwood and Eagle Academy hold the top spots in this competitive corridor, Chugiak Elementary reliably delivers high-quality, inclusive education—and does so without breaking the budget.
