Summary

Harborview Elementary is a traditional public school in Juneau, AK, serving 349 students in grades PK–6 as part of the Juneau Borough School District. The school currently sits in the lower-middle tier of Alaska elementary schools, ranking 107th of 166 (36th percentile) with a 2-star rating for 2025–26. Schoolwide proficiency is close to the state average in English language arts (33% vs. 33% statewide) and slightly above it in math (35% vs. 32% statewide), but those overall numbers hide a very uneven pattern by grade level and subject.

Science and 5th grade math are Harborview’s standout strengths. Science proficiency reached 57% in 2025–26, well above the district’s 40% and the state’s 38%, and stronger than nearby Auke Bay Elementary (41%), Mendenhall River Community School (25%), and Glacier Valley (46%). Fifth grade math was even more distinctive: roughly 61% of students were proficient, the highest 5th grade math result among all nearby schools with reported data. The school also earned an 80th-percentile statewide ranking for its Native American students in 2025–26, a dramatic improvement from the 39th percentile the year before.

The early grades present a bigger challenge. Only about 24% of 3rd graders met ELA proficiency standards, and 3rd- and 4th-grade math proficiency came in at roughly 27% and 22% — both well below state averages. Sixth grade ELA also trails the state. Results for economically disadvantaged students and several other subgroups remain below the state median. Nearby alternative programs such as Montessori Borealis Public Alternative School and Juneau Community Charter School post higher overall scores, but they serve far fewer low-income students, making direct comparisons misleading. Harborview has climbed from the 29th percentile in 2023–24 to the 36th percentile today; bringing its early-grade reading and math up to the level of its 5th grade and science results is the clearest path to further improvement.
