Summary:
Zip code 99521 is served by a single middle school, Anchorage STrEaM Academy, which enrolls 183 students in grades 6–8 within the Anchorage School District.
Because it is the only middle school in the zip code, there are no local schools to compare it with; however, Anchorage STrEaM Academy stands out when placed next to district and state averages. The school earned 3 stars and currently ranks #42 out of 90 Alaska middle schools (53rd percentile), a striking improvement from the prior year’s 1-star rating and #68 rank. In 2025–2026, STrEaM’s all-grade proficiency was 40.00% in English language arts, 36.41% in math, and 57.14% in science—each above the Anchorage School District and Alaska state averages. The science result is particularly impressive: 57.14% proficient versus 39.06% for the district and 37.81% for the state.
Looking deeper, 8th-grade math and science are the school’s strongest academic areas, with proficiency rates of 48.21% and 57.14%; these are 9.21 and 19.70 points above the district average. Seventh-grade math, by contrast, is the weakest spot at 29.09% proficiency, 8.15 points below the district average and nearly 19 points below the school’s own 8th-grade math score. ELA performance is above average, led by 6th grade (47.30%) and trailing off in 7th grade (32.73%). Science proficiency also jumped nearly 21 points from the previous year, while math rose about 7 points and ELA about 3 points. With roughly 60 students per grade, these changes can be influenced by a small number of students, so the upward trend is encouraging but should be interpreted with some caution. Socioeconomic data, including free/reduced lunch eligibility, is not reported for this school, so the complete demographic picture is unavailable.
