Summary

Eagle County Charter Academy (ECCA) is a K-8 charter school in Edwards, Colorado, serving 360 students under the Eagle County School District No. Re 50. The school has a consistently strong statewide record, ranking 193rd out of 943 Colorado schools — an 80th percentile performance with a 4-star rating for 2025-2026. Over the past decade, ECCA has never fallen below the 76th percentile, making it a reliably top-quintile school in Colorado.

ECCA's test scores are its most defining feature, dramatically outpacing both district and state averages. In English Language Arts, 67.1% of students are proficient versus 39.9% in the district and 44.7% statewide. In math, 53.0% are proficient versus 29.2% district and 37.3% state. Science scores are roughly double the state average, with 63.2% proficiency in 5th grade and 70.3% in 8th grade. ECCA is the highest-ranked school in its immediate region — well ahead of Red Sandstone Elementary (70th percentile) and Brush Creek Elementary (68th percentile), and far above Edwards Elementary (22nd percentile) and Avon Elementary (18th percentile), both just about two miles away.

Interestingly, ECCA achieves these results with a higher student-teacher ratio (15.3:1) than its peers, and it has notably low chronic absenteeism at 19.7% versus 31.1% for the district. Only 13.6% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a much lower rate than most nearby schools. A direct comparison with Stone Creek School, another K-8 charter just over three miles away, is striking: ECCA's ELA proficiency is 67.1% versus Stone Creek's 33.8%, and its state rank is 193rd versus 671st — showing that charter status alone doesn't explain the results. One point to watch is math performance, which is exceptionally strong in 3rd grade (89.7% proficient) but drops sharply in 4th grade to 39.0%, though ELA remains strong across all grades, peaking at 84.6% proficient in 8th grade.

ECCA has been a great experience for both my children. The school has high expectations, pushing the kids to think beyond the norm and to practice independence. We appreciate everything the school has done to prepare my daughter for high school. She is thriving in HS thanks to ECCA. Close Quote
