Frequently asked questions
What is the best public school in Anchorage School District?
Aurora Elementary in Jber, Alaska ranks first among traditional public schools in Anchorage School District with a Success Index (US) of 80.6 out of 100 (Enrollment: 359).
How are traditional public schools in Anchorage School District ranked?

Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
