Summary

Dimond High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Anchorage, AK, serving 1,373 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Anchorage School District. Now ranked 46th out of 62 Alaska high schools with a 1-star rating and a 26th-percentile placement, Dimond has slipped significantly over the past decade. As recently as 2014–2015, the school sat at the 70th percentile with 4 stars; the last three years have produced its weakest results in reported history.

The school's clearest strength is graduation: its 89.2% rate for 2024–2025 comfortably exceeds the district's 83.2%, a trend Dimond has maintained for five straight years. Academically, though, proficiency rates are low. Only 15.8% of students are proficient in math—less than half the district rate of 35.7%—while science proficiency sits at 28.7% versus the district's 39.1%. English Language Arts is closer to par at 33.8% compared with the district's 36%.

Among nearby traditional high schools, Dimond ranks above only Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School. The gaps with peers are notable: South Anchorage High School posts 49.6% ELA and 55.0% science proficiency, and West High School—which has a higher share of low-income students—outperforms Dimond in every subject despite similar spending and class sizes. Service High School, with nearly identical poverty rates, also surpasses Dimond in math and science. Math proficiency has fallen from 30% in 2022–2023 to the mid-teens, and no student subgroup currently performs above the 50th percentile statewide. Dimond is clearly effective at guiding students to graduation, but parents should weigh that strength against the school's serious academic challenges in math and science.
