The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking #1 out of 173 Alaska elementary schools in the 2020-2021 school year.

Huffman Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the Anchorage School District and the state of Alaska in English Language Arts (58.99% vs. 35.6% and 32.69%), Mathematics (67.63% vs. 35.34% and 32.18%), and Science (76.6% vs. 39.69% and 37.87%). The school's strong performance extends to various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, multi-racial students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Taku Elementary, which is located just 3.72 miles away, Huffman Elementary stands out as a high-performing outlier, with proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. This highlights the unique factors that contribute to Huffman Elementary's success, which may provide valuable insights for other schools in the Anchorage School District. While the school's overall performance is exceptional, there may be opportunities for further improvement, particularly in areas where the school's proficiency rates, while still strong, are not as dominant compared to the district and state.
