Eagle Academy Charter School

Summary:

Eagle Academy Charter School is an exceptional elementary school located in Eagle River, Alaska, serving 189 students in grades K-8 and consistently ranking among the top schools in the state. With a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's academic performance is truly remarkable, with proficiency rates in core subjects significantly higher than the Anchorage School District and Alaska state averages.

One of the key factors that sets Eagle Academy Charter School apart is its consistently high academic achievement. In the 2023-2024 school year, 75.59% of students were proficient or better in STAR/English Language Arts, compared to just 35.51% in the Anchorage School District and 31.5% statewide. This level of excellence is particularly noteworthy given the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.3, which is higher than many of the nearby schools. The school's demographic profile also differs from its neighbors, with a significantly higher percentage of White students (70.37% in 2022-2023) and a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (1.59% in 2022-2023).

While Eagle Academy Charter School's academic performance is truly impressive, it is important to consider the unique challenges faced by other schools in the area. For example, Creekside Park Elementary and Muldoon Elementary have much higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can be a significant factor in educational outcomes. The success of Eagle Academy Charter School may be attributed to a combination of effective teaching practices, a rigorous curriculum, strong parental involvement, and the flexibility afforded by its charter school status, offering valuable insights for understanding the factors that contribute to educational excellence.

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.
