All three of my kids that have attended this school LOVE it and so do we as parents. The teachers and staff really go above their call of duty, they care about the kids and their individual needs. They have many after school clubs through out the year such as Lego Robotics, K-nex, Wearable Art, Jump Rope, Science and Bag Pipes. Parents are encouraged to play a role in the child's education. Parents are welcomed to help in the classrooms. Parent-teacher-staff communication is great. One big happy family!

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Alaska used the Standards Based Assessment (SBA) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, math and writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in science. The SBA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alaska. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
