of 62 Alaska High Schools

Summary

Steller Secondary School is a small public school in Anchorage, AK, serving roughly 305 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Anchorage School District. Despite its district being a mid-tier performer statewide, Steller is a remarkable academic standout: in 2025-2026 it ranked #2 out of 62 Alaska high schools with a 5-star rating, and it has finished in the top handful of schools statewide in nearly every recent year. Its closest neighbor, West High School, ranked #24, while Service High School (#38), Dimond High School (#46), and Bettye Davis East Anchorage High School (#57) sit well behind.

Steller's test scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools. In science, 66.1% of Steller students scored proficient, compared with 39.6% at West High, 33.2% at Service High, 28.7% at Dimond High, and 18.8% at East Anchorage High. ELA proficiency stands at 60.1%, versus 41.4% at West High and just 21.5% at East Anchorage. Math is Steller's relative weak spot at 47.5%, but that still easily surpasses West High's 25.9% and East Anchorage's 7.0%. The school's graduation rate was a perfect 100.0% in 2024-2025, far above the district's 83.2% rate and well above West High (85.6%), Dimond High (89.2%), and East Anchorage (78.3%). Steller also earns strong marks for how it serves students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with recent statewide subgroup rankings of #3 and #4 in Alaska.

What makes Steller especially noteworthy is that these results come without exceptional spending. Its per-student spending of about $13,262 is nearly identical to West High's $13,328 and well below several schools with far weaker outcomes, such as East Anchorage High ($15,523) and Highland Academy Charter ($15,386). The school's student-teacher ratio of 20.7 to 1 is also similar to much larger high schools in the area despite its small enrollment. For families in midtown Anchorage, Steller offers a distinctive 6-12 school model with elite academic performance, a near-perfect graduation rate, and a track record of strong results across different student groups — all within a district where most nearby comprehensive high schools rank near or below the state median.
