Pioneer Peak Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Alaska, ranking as high as 3rd out of 173 schools in the 2020-2021 school year.

Despite having a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.5% in 2022-2023) compared to some of the nearby schools, Pioneer Peak Elementary is able to maintain a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.3 to 18.3 over the past three school years. This suggests that the school is effectively allocating its resources to support student learning, and its high-performing nature, diverse student population, and efficient resource allocation make it a valuable partner for other schools in the district or region, particularly those with lower academic performance or higher rates of economic disadvantage.

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.

The best elementary school in the Mat Su School District. My daughter absolutely loved this school, the staff, and curriculum. They are very encouraging to the students to go the distance. Close Quote

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.
