Summary:

Zip code 99574 is home to 3 schools serving the Alaska communities of Cordova and Chenega Bay, covering grades PK-12 and enrolling 369 students total. The largest is Mt. Eccles Elementary (PK-6, 234 students), followed by Cordova Junior/Senior High School (7-12, 126 students) and the tiny Chenega School (PK-12, 9 students). There is no standalone middle school; middle grades are housed at Cordova Junior/Senior High. The Cordova City School District serves roughly 97.6% of students in this zip code and is rated 5 stars — 2nd out of 23 Alaska districts, in the 91st percentile — while Chenega School belongs to the Chugach School District.

Both Cordova schools post strong academics despite high economic need. Mt. Eccles Elementary has climbed from the 41st to the 64th percentile in state rankings over the past two years, and it beats Alaska averages in every subject even though 84.6% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Cordova Junior/Senior High School is the top-ranked school in the area, landing in the 77th percentile with 4 stars and a 90.9% graduation rate. It also exceeds state averages in ELA, math, and science. Still, there are trouble spots worth noting: 4th-grade ELA at Mt. Eccles dipped below the state average (29.4% vs. 33.7%), and math proficiency at Cordova falls from 65.5% in 7th grade to 18.2% in 9th grade.

Chenega School is an outlier in resources but cannot be measured academically here: it spends $54,952 per student and has a 4.5:1 student-teacher ratio, yet no test scores are reported for its 9 students. For comparison, Mt. Eccles spends $21,364 per student and Cordova Jr/Sr High spends $23,091. Families should also know that both Cordova schools saw sizable science-score declines from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, though they remain above state averages. Overall, this zip code offers a top-tier district, above-average proficiency, and solid graduation rates — but with small cohorts, year-to-year swings are common, so parents should look at multi-year trends.
