Summary

Howard Eccles Elementary School is a public elementary school in Canby, Oregon, serving 401 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Canby School District 86, which is ranked 61 out of 140 districts in the state.

While Howard Eccles Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 80th out of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 332nd out of 706 in 2024-2025, it still generally outperforms the nearby Cecile Trost Elementary School. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Philander Lee Elementary School in core academic areas like English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates in these subjects are also lower than the Canby School District and state averages, with the exception of a strong performance in 5th-grade English Language Arts in 2021-2022.

One bright spot for Howard Eccles Elementary is the exceptional performance of its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked 15th out of 179 Oregon elementary schools in 2017-2018. However, the school's performance for other subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and Special Education students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups. Additionally, the school has faced operational challenges, including an increase in chronic absenteeism and fluctuations in student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, which may be contributing factors to its declining performance.
