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.

Am in the adoption process of a youngster who has suffered some neglect and required an individual education plan - but has come around with the patient support and great expectation of the teachers and staff at Willow Crest School! To go from behaving like a misfit to proud to be a first grader and looking forward to second grade has been an outstanding accomplishment on behalf of the child and all of the supportive staff!
