Summary

Chugiak High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Chugiak, Alaska, serving 928 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Anchorage School District. The school is one of Alaska's strongest traditional high schools, ranking 12th out of 62 high schools statewide in 2025–2026—an 81st-percentile, 4-star result that marks real progress from its 26th-place finish the year before. This places it ahead of nearby comprehensive schools such as Wasilla High School (39th) and Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School (57th), while trailing only Eagle River High School (8th) among schools in its immediate area.

Academically, Chugiak is a consistent standout in English Language Arts, with 44.9% of students proficient in 2025–2026 compared with 36.0% for the district and 32.9% statewide—an advantage of about 12 points over the state that has held for several years. Science proficiency also tops district and state averages at 40.3%. Math is the metric most worth monitoring: proficiency has swung from 43.2% in 2022–2023 to 22.4% in 2024–2025 before rebounding to 37.3% in 2025–2026. The graduation rate is the school's most consistent highlight, reaching 94.2% in 2024–2025 versus 83.2% districtwide. That gap has widened over time, as Chugiak improved from 89.1% to 94.2% in four years while the district gained only modestly.

Parents comparing schools will find Eagle River High School the most meaningful benchmark—the two schools are about five miles apart, serve similar student populations, and belong to the same district. Eagle River currently holds a slight edge in overall rank, graduation rate, and science, while Chugiak posts a slightly higher ELA proficiency rate (44.9% vs. 44.2%) despite serving more students with a higher student-to-teacher ratio of 23.1:1. Chugiak also produces exceptional results for Hispanic students, ranking 2nd in the state for three consecutive years, and historically strong ratings for military-connected students. Outcomes are more uneven, however, for economically disadvantaged, migrant, and special education students, suggesting that equity-focused support may remain important even as the school's overall performance stays strong.
