Turnagain is a great school with amazing supportive staff and involved parents. The Russian Immersion program is particularly awesome, what a gift to learn a language in a natural and developmentally appropriate way. Our older child has loved every single teacher so far, our second child can't wait to start in the fall. We "won" the lottery at other charter schools but said no without a second thought.

Romig is an awesome school. The gifted program has made me so much more confident and I have grown so much in the past year. The teachers there are all so encouraging and supportive. Thank you HG 7th grade teachers!!

I live in the Service neighborhood area, but I chose to go to West High for a reason. I am currently a 9th grader. West has the best students in Alaska by a landslide. It has the only IB program, the only Highly Gifted program, and some of the best sports teams in the state. It has so many opportunities for students to take. Through my first semester, my teachers have been great. If something is wrong, just talk to them and they are more than happy to fix it. Most of the students in the neighborhood school program aren't the best learners, or at least aren't motivated to learn. However, motivated students have options for a high level of learning. West is in the Anchorage School District, which has had some problems with funding recently, so some programs may be cut. However, I would still recommend West as the high school of choice in Anchorage. If it is too long of a drive, Service High and South High aren't bad options either.
