Summary

Muldoon Elementary is a public elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska, serving 436 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Anchorage School District, which is ranked 14 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite additional resources being directed to the school, with per-student spending of $17,361, Muldoon Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Alaska elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles to support its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Alaska elementary schools for female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Muldoon Elementary's high free/reduced lunch rates, reaching over 100% in recent years, indicate a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Interestingly, Muldoon Elementary's performance lags significantly behind most of the nearby schools in the Anchorage School District, such as Susitna Elementary, Ursa Minor Elementary, and Scenic Park Elementary, which consistently outperform Muldoon across academic measures, despite serving similar student populations. This presents an opportunity for the Anchorage School District to implement targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of Muldoon Elementary's student population and improve educational outcomes.
