Rabbit Creek Elementary

Summary:

Rabbit Creek Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska, serving 443 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with students outperforming their peers in the Anchorage School District and the state of Alaska on standardized tests.

Rabbit Creek Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high test scores, with 74.6% of students proficient or better in Science in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to just 38.66% for the Anchorage School District and 36.94% for the state. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending suggest that it has access to more resources and a more favorable learning environment compared to some nearby schools, such as Taku Elementary and Klatt Elementary, which lag behind Rabbit Creek in academic performance.

While Rabbit Creek Elementary's student population is relatively homogeneous, with a majority of White students and a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, the school's success is not solely dependent on its demographics. The school's educational programs and teaching quality likely play a significant role in its exceptional academic performance, which sets it apart from many of the nearby schools in the Anchorage area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
