Mt. Eccles Elementary

Summary:

Mt. Eccles Elementary is a public elementary school in Cordova, Alaska, serving 210 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Cordova City School District, which is ranked 4 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mt. Eccles Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in science proficiency, with 67.86% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 36.94% for the state. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency varies by grade level, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. The school's Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) students, as well as its special education students, have consistently ranked among the top performers in the state, indicating the school's ability to support these student populations. Despite having a high percentage of students (70.48%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Mt. Eccles Elementary has been able to maintain strong performance for its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top quarter of the state in 2021-2022.

The school's exceptional performance in science and for specialized student populations, such as Asian, ELL, and special education students, suggests a strong focus on effective teaching practices and the ability to meet the unique needs of these learners. However, the variability in ELA and math proficiency across grade levels indicates a need to closely examine instructional practices and support for specific grade levels to ensure more consistent academic achievement. Additionally, the relatively lower performance of white and migrant students at Mt. Eccles Elementary suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of these student groups and ensure equitable educational opportunities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
