If your child is a person of color, RUN! There is systemic racism from principal, teachers and students. Filing a formal bullying report is a joke, the principal will blame your child for everything even after previously admitting your child was being bullied prior to the report. The schools version of handling hate speech is holding a "use nice words" assembly and brushing it under the rug. The principal allows teachers to not teach, just provide busy work. Also, if your child should be provided special ed services as documented in 504 plan and when parents bring up that services are not being provided, principal allows teacher to send an email to the 504 coordinator calling your child "lazy" and then allow the teacher to not even attend the scheduled 504 meeting plus when the principal shows up in the last 5 mins of the meeting, she plays on her phone the whole time. The school does not care about helping the students be successful and make it clear that if your kid isn't white, they dont want you there. The only positive is that the PTA does lots of enrichment events throughout the year.We had high hopes for Rabbit Creek based on reviews/reputation but after a year there, we RAN as far away from the school and refuse to send any of our kids to that school and I highly recommend you do the same.

This is probably the best public High School in Anchorage hands down. I was skeptical when I visited the first time, but the school is so clean, neat, kept up, and orderly. It’s like Japan in there. Everything is very polished. The teachers and faculty are all very responsive to my questions and concerns. Even though most of the teachers are openly liberal, I can’t take too much issue with them because it’s clear to me that they are very professional, trained, dedicated to student’s well-being. The JROTC program has been amazing for my student. I can’t say enough nice things about the JROTC instructors. They run a top notch program and I feel really blessed that my student gets to be part of it.

The teachers and staff at Goldenview are genuinely concerned for the education and advancement of the students! They take the curriculum and make it fun for the students. They foster creativity and encourage students to stretch and enrich their minds. The parental and business involvement is much greater than I have found at other schools. My children and I have found Goldenview to be a great learning community all the way around! Goldenview prepares their students well for high school! I wish these teachers could move with the students to the high school level!
