Summary

Eagle River Elementary is a PK-6 public school in Eagle River, Alaska, serving 266 students as part of the Anchorage School District, which ranks near the middle of Alaska's districts. The school has experienced a pronounced downward shift in recent years, falling from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to just 2 stars in 2025-2026, when it ranked 101st out of 166 Alaska elementary schools (39th percentile). Proficiency rates have slipped across multiple subjects: English Language Arts dropped from 48% proficient in 2022-2023 to 36% in 2025-2026, while math fell from about 46% to 38% over the same period. Science remains a relative bright spot—still above district and state averages—though it too has declined from roughly 52% to 44%.

Perhaps most striking is that Eagle River Elementary is an underperformer in a very high-performing area. Within roughly two miles, Ravenwood Elementary (98th percentile), Eagle Academy Charter School (95th percentile), and Homestead Elementary (79th percentile) all post substantially higher reading and math scores. Even Chugiak Elementary and Birchwood ABC Elementary, located farther away, outperform it by wide margins. Grade-level data suggests a possible challenge around fifth grade: 4th graders exceeded district math averages in 2025-2026 (47.7% vs. 36.3%), but 5th graders fell well below district norms in both math (30% vs. 42.3%) and reading (35% vs. 42.9%), pointing to a possible curriculum transition or cohort issue worth investigating.

Eagle River Elementary does have identifiable strengths. Low-income students served by the school performed at the 70th percentile statewide in 2024-2025, well above the school's overall ranking, and military-connected students ranked in the 78th percentile when that data was last available—signs that some support strategies are working and could perhaps be expanded. Spending and class size do not explain the results: the school's $13,378 per-student spending and 15:1 student-teacher ratio compare favorably with many neighbors, yet outcomes remain lower. Nearby Ursa Minor Elementary and Fire Lake Elementary serve comparable or higher poverty populations while achieving similar or better rankings. In short, the school's recent decline amid so many high-performing nearby options highlights school-level factors that leadership may want to examine closely.
