With a total enrollment of 580 students, the school consistently outperforms state averages in academic subjects, particularly in English Language Arts and Social Studies.
Eagle Crest Charter Academy is a standout school, with its students demonstrating exceptional performance on the PSAT, with 72.9% proficient or better in ELA and 52.1% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages. The school has also shown improvement in areas like 7th-grade ELA proficiency, indicating its ability to address weaknesses.
