Frequently asked questions
What is the best elementary school in Anchorage?
Bayshore Elementary in Anchorage, Alaska ranks first among elementary schools in Anchorage with a Success Index (US) of 80.4 out of 100 (Enrollment: 338).
How are elementary schools in Anchorage ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
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).
