Summary

Juneau Community Charter School is a small public charter school in downtown Juneau, Alaska, serving grades K through 8 with just 71 students as part of the Juneau Borough School District. It’s one of two alternative elementary programs in the area, sitting only 0.17 miles from Montessori Borealis Public Alternative School, yet it’s far smaller and spends significantly more per student—$22,594 annually. Only 14.1% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, giving the school an unusually low poverty rate compared with nearby neighborhood elementaries.

Academically, this school shows a striking split. Science is clearly its strength, with 58.33% of students proficient in 2025–2026—about 20 points above the state average—and 5th-grade science reaching 66.67%. That ties Sayeik: Gastineau Community School and trails only Montessori Borealis (65.79%). Math, however, is a major weak spot: just 29.79% proficient, below the district’s 34.97% and the state’s 32.20%. The gap is especially stark in 6th grade, where only 25% meet benchmarks versus 39.57% districtwide. English language arts lands right at district average (35.42%), placing it mid-pack—below Montessori Borealis’s 41.67% and Sayeik’s 51.81%, but above Harborview Elementary’s 33.15%.

Because of its tiny enrollment, proficiency rates swing wildly from year to year—this school jumped from a 5-star, 91st-percentile ranking in 2021–2022 to a 3-star, 58th-percentile ranking in 2025–2026. A single student’s performance can shift any percentage by 10 points or more, so parents should view these numbers cautiously. The most useful comparison is to Montessori Borealis, which spends about $6,700 less per student yet outperforms Juneau Community Charter in every subject. For families, this school offers an intimate, science-rich environment, but the persistent math challenge and only-average literacy results suggest its low poverty rate and high funding haven’t translated into stronger core academics in recent years.
