Summary:

There is only one high school located in Mount Edgecumbe, Alaska - Mt. Edgecumbe High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Mount Edgecumbe school district.

Based on the available data, Mt. Edgecumbe High School does not appear to be a standout performer among Alaska high schools. The school is ranked 48 out of 60 Alaska high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in core academic subjects, such as science, English language arts, and mathematics, are all below the state averages for the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years.
