Summary

Kax_dig_oowu Heen Elementary School serves 290 students in pre-K through 6th grade in Juneau, AK, and is part of the Juneau Borough School District. The school currently earns a 1-star rating, ranking in the 22nd percentile statewide, with proficiency rates of 29.19% in ELA, 29.01% in math, and 35.14% in science—all below district and state averages. This marks a slight improvement over the past two years, but the school remains far below its pre-pandemic performance, when it ranked in the 58th percentile in 2018-19.

Compared with nearby schools, Kax_dig_oowu Heen is the lowest-performing elementary in the group. The contrast with Sit Eeti Shaanax - Glacier Valley School, located less than a mile away with a similar number of students and a slightly higher free/reduced-price lunch rate, is especially stark: Glacier Valley outperforms Kax_dig_oowu Heen by 13.4 points in ELA and 15 points in math. Even schools such as Sayeik: Gastineau Community School and Glacier Valley, serving comparable or higher poverty populations, post much stronger results. Kax_dig_oowu Heen also has a lower student-teacher ratio (16.1) than Auke Bay Elementary (18.3), suggesting class size alone does not explain the persistent gap.

Despite the low overall ranking, there are bright spots. Asian students have performed in the 72nd–78th percentile for three straight years, and White students and male students both showed meaningful improvement in 2025-26. Female students, however, remain a concern at the 14th percentile for two consecutive years. Grade-level results also vary, with 3rd grade math exceeding the state average while 4th grade math lags sharply. These patterns suggest the school is not uniformly low-performing, and identifying what works for some student groups could guide targeted improvements.
