Anchorage Independent Public School

I went to school here when I was younger and now my daughter has started here. I have really enjoyed our experience and absolutely loved the new principle and all the teachers I've personally interacted with. My only concern was with homework. I felt that the homework my daughter had was way too easy and quick to do, and on weeks where they missed a day of school they cancelled homework for the entire week. Other than that, I highly recommend this school!

I have experience as a parent with 3 different children in 3 different elementary schools over the last ten years, both private and public. I love Chancey and feel blessed that my family gets to be a part of the community there. The communication between school and parents is fantastic and clear, and I can always get through to someone who cares when I need it. Every adult I have encountered in the building shows the utmost care to the children, calling them by name, and noticing them with encouragement, for positive things. My second grader is always happy to go to school, even when she’s having hard days. I know she feels supported by the adults around her and I do too. The activities and community events offered by Chancey are always well-attended, upbeat, and fun. We just really appreciate the warm environment that has been created at Chancey. I know that a welcoming and loving atmosphere is the foundation for successful learning. My child also excels academically thanks to her time at Chancey. She loves math and reading and is proud to show off what she has learned. Overall we have had a great experience with Chancey and would highly recommend. I’m looking forward to my next child attending as well.

One of the best elementary schools in JCPS by far, great teachers, great admin, great curriculum
