Summary

O'Malley Elementary is a public elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska, serving 374 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Anchorage School District. This school has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Alaska, ranking within the top 30 schools in the state for the past 5 years and maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

O'Malley Elementary significantly outperforms the Anchorage School District and the state of Alaska in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, 75% of O'Malley students were proficient or better in Science, compared to just 39.69% for the district and 37.87% for the state. The school also ranks among the top in Alaska for the performance of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools like Ocean View Elementary and Kasuun Elementary, O'Malley Elementary stands out as a top performer, with significantly higher proficiency rates and rankings across all subject areas. This high academic achievement may be partly attributed to the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools.
