Summary

Howard Eccles Elementary School is a K–6 school serving 371 students in Canby, Oregon, part of Canby School District 86, a district ranked 64th of 141 in the state.

In 2025–26, Howard Eccles ranked 329th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — about the 54th percentile with 3 stars — placing it near the state average. Among the Canby elementary schools shown, it is the strongest: its all-grade proficiency rates of 45.1% in English language arts, 32.4% in math and 36.5% in science are the highest of the group. For comparison, William Knight Elementary School reached 42.3% in ELA and 20.6% in science, while Philander Lee Elementary School and Cecile Trost Elementary School posted science rates of 17.5% and 18.2%. Chronic absenteeism is 24.5%, better than the district's 30.7% and the state's 33.5%. Compared with nearby schools outside the district, such as Willamette Primary School or John McLoughlin Elementary School, Howard Eccles scores lower in math and usually in ELA, though it serves a higher share of students from low-income families.

Grade-level results vary. Fifth-grade ELA (58%), sixth-grade ELA (48.1%), sixth-grade math (32.1%) and fifth-grade science (36.5%) all beat district and state averages. Fourth grade is the weak spot: ELA at 35% and math at 31.7% fall below both. Math overall (32.4%) is just under the state's 32.9%. The school's history shows a decline and recovery — from 4 stars and the mid-80s percentile before 2020, down to the 32nd percentile in 2023–24, and back to the mid-50s now. Low-income students posted a strong 85th percentile result in 2024–25, easing to the 52nd percentile in 2025–26.
