Summary

Winterberry School is a public magnet charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Anchorage, Alaska, with 258 students. 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.

Despite being a magnet school, Winterberry School consistently underperforms compared to the Anchorage School District and Alaska state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Winterberry's proficiency rates were 37.5% in science, 34.56% in English Language Arts, and 20.9% in mathematics, compared to the district averages of 39.69%, 35.6%, and 35.34%, respectively. Winterberry's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and female students, is also concerning, ranking in the bottom quartile and half of Alaska elementary schools, respectively.

Winterberry School's lower spending per student of $12,959 in 2018-2019, compared to nearby schools ranging from $13,687 to $22,230 per student, and higher student-teacher ratio of 18.3 in 2023-2024, compared to ratios ranging from 13-17 at nearby schools, may be contributing factors to its underperformance. For example, Scenic Park Elementary, located just 1.63 miles away, consistently outperforms Winterberry School by a significant margin. Addressing these resource-related issues could be an area of focus for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
