Teeland Middle School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Teeland Middle School in Wasilla, AK, is a large PK–8 campus enrolling 643 students within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District, a 4-star district ranked 6th out of 23 in Alaska. Though the name says "middle," SchoolDigger classifies it as an elementary due to its grade span, and roughly 40% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—a rate similar to many of its nearby peers.

On the most recent state tests, Teeland posts a narrow middle-band profile: it beats Alaska state averages in English language arts (36.87%), math (38.33%), and science (41.06%), but trails district averages in each subject. The clearest internal pattern is in math. Sixth-grade proficiency sits at just 24.7%—about 7 points below the state—then jumps to 43.22% in 7th grade and 46.98% in 8th grade, both above district and state levels. That suggests the school successfully accelerates students once they reach upper middle-school grades. In contrast, ELA proficiency stays basically flat from 6th through 8th grade (roughly 36–38%), showing little measurable literacy growth. Science results have also been volatile year to year and are now almost 10 points below the district average.

Compared with nearby schools, Teeland stands out for its combination of size, lower per-student spending ($13,334), and highest student–teacher ratio (18.3) in the cluster. Its performance also lags behind comparable campuses. John Shaw Elementary, with nearly the same free-lunch rate, posts far stronger outcomes—math proficiency of 67.61% versus Teeland’s 38.33%. The closest K–8 charters, Fronteras Charter School and Birchtree Charter School, also outperform Teeland across every subject, often by wide margins. Teeland is certainly not the lowest-performing school in its neighborhood, but given that nearby schools serving similar populations achieve stronger results, there appears to be meaningful room for improvement—especially in 6th-grade math and reading growth.
