Summary:
Zip code 99702, located at Eielson Air Force Base in interior Alaska, contains just one school, Anderson Crawford Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK through 5 with 369 students in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District. Because only one school exists in this zip code, families cannot compare schools within the area; instead, the most useful context comes from measuring this school against district and statewide averages.
Despite being the only school in the zip code, Anderson Crawford Elementary stands out statewide. It ranked 19th out of 166 Alaska elementary schools in the 2025–2026 school year (89th percentile, 4 stars), following a 15th-place finish with 5 stars the prior year. Proficiency rates are roughly double the state average: 61.64% in ELA, 63.70% in math, and 75.00% in science, compared with state averages of 32.89%, 32.20%, and 37.81%. That translates into a 28- to 37-point advantage over Alaska as a whole. This level of performance is particularly impressive given that its own district, Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, ranks 14th out of 23 Alaska districts (39th percentile, 2 stars).
The one notable weakness is a sharp 4th-grade dip. Math proficiency reaches 78.26% in 3rd grade, collapses to 35.42% in 4th grade, then rebounds to 76.92% in 5th grade. In 4th grade, the school barely outpaces the district (35.27%) and state (34.83%) averages, far below its usual level. ELA follows a similar but milder pattern. This could indicate a cohort effect, a curriculum transition, or a testing anomaly. Families should also know that the school has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 21.68%, consistent with its military-base population, and that since the zip code contains only this elementary school, students must travel elsewhere in the district for middle and high school.
