Summary:
The Cordova City School District in Alaska is home to a single high school, Cordova Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. This standout school has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 11th out of 63 Alaska high schools in the 2023-2024 school year.
Cordova Junior/Senior High School's academic performance is impressive, with proficiency rates in science, English language arts, and mathematics generally higher than the district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's science proficiency rates for 8th grade (66.67%) and all grades (57.14%) are significantly above the state averages (35.02% and 37.87%, respectively). Similarly, the school's English language arts proficiency rates for all grades (48.28%) and 9th grade (64.71%) are well above the state averages (32.69% and 30.32%, respectively). While the school's mathematics proficiency rates are not as high as its ELA and science scores, they are still above the state averages in most grade levels.
Despite the high free/reduced lunch rate of 77.78% in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic need, Cordova Junior/Senior High School is providing a quality education to its students. The school's strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, and significantly higher spending per student ($23,091 in 2018-2019) compared to the state average suggest the district is effectively allocating resources and supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged population. While the school's overall performance is impressive, there may be room for improvement in 9th-grade mathematics proficiency, which stands at 17.65%.
