Summary

Kasuun Elementary is a pre-K–6 school in Anchorage, Alaska, serving about 343 students in a neighborhood where roughly half of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In the Anchorage School District, Kasuun currently sits in the lower tier of Alaska elementary schools, ranking 136th out of 166 schools statewide (18th percentile) in 2025-26. Proficiency in English language arts (22.7%) and math (25.8%) is well below district averages; science, at 36.8%, is much closer to the norm.

Kasuun's overall performance has declined over the last several years. ELA proficiency dropped from 35.1% in 2022-23 to 22.7% today, and the most serious struggles are in the early grades: only about 15–17% of 3rd and 4th graders are proficient in reading and math. Science is a relative bright spot. In contrast, two nearby schools — Northern Lights ABC K-8 School (about a mile away) and Rilke Schule Charter School (1.4 miles away) — achieve far stronger results, with ELA proficiency of 52.6% and 63.5%, respectively.

Kasuun's resources are also notable: it spent about $19,200 per student in 2018-19, well above schools like Scenic Park Elementary and Trailside Elementary that outperform it. Results do vary among student groups as well, with Hispanic and multi-racial students performing much closer to statewide averages in recent years. For parents, the bottom line is that early reading and math are the school's most urgent priorities, and families in this part of Anchorage have other schools nearby with sharply different outcomes.
