Summary:
The Cordova City School District in Alaska serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district: Mt. Eccles Elementary and Cordova Junior/Senior High School. The district is known for its strong academic performance, particularly in science and mathematics, with both schools exceeding state averages in these subjects.
Mt. Eccles Elementary stands out for its consistently high science proficiency, with 54-68% of students performing at or above grade level, compared to 36-55% for the district and 38-47% for the state. The school also excels in mathematics, especially in the upper elementary grades. Despite having a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 13.6, the school's academic achievements are impressive.
Cordova Junior/Senior High School has also earned recognition, ranking among the top 22-25% of high schools in Alaska over the past 3 years. The school's science proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, exceeds the district and state averages, and its English Language Arts proficiency, especially in 9th grade, is also noteworthy. While both schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the Cordova City School District appears to be effectively allocating resources to support student learning and maintain academic excellence.
