Summary

Mt. Eccles Elementary is a small PK-6 school in Cordova, Alaska, serving 234 students and sitting within the Cordova City School District, one of Alaska's highest-rated districts. With a student-teacher ratio of about 13:1 and per-student spending of $21,364, it is also relatively well-funded. Over 84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet the school consistently outperforms Alaska's statewide averages across most subjects.

Math is the school's clearest strength. Mt. Eccles posted a 49.6% math proficiency rate in the most recent year, well above the state's 32.2%. Third graders were especially strong, with nearly 68% proficient — more than double the statewide rate. English language arts results are also solid at 46.4% proficient versus 32.9% statewide, though just slightly behind the district's 47.4%. Science scores have swung noticeably from year to year, which is likely a reflection of the school's small test cohorts rather than major changes in instruction. After a tough 2023-2024 school year, the school's statewide ranking has rebounded to the 64th percentile.

The most noticeable academic weak spot is a 4th-grade slump. In ELA, 3rd graders far outpace the state average, but 4th graders fall below it; math shows a similar drop-off between 3rd and 4th grade before results recover in 5th and 6th grades. Families may want to watch how this pattern develops in coming years. On the positive side, the school produces strong outcomes across many student groups: low-income, Native American, and male students, along with English language learners, have all posted above-average results in recent years. With no other schools within 20 miles, the school is the only elementary option in Cordova and offers a solid, well-supported education in this remote coastal community.
