Summary:
The 99574 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Cordova City School District and the Chugach School District. The standout schools in this area are Mt. Eccles Elementary, which ranks 45th out of 171 Alaska elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages in science proficiency, and Cordova Junior/Senior High School, which ranks 11th out of 63 Alaska high schools and also outperforms the district and state in science proficiency.
The schools in the 99574 zip code have a diverse student population, with significant Native American and Asian representation. They also have relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 21.43% at Chenega School to 78.23% at Cordova Junior/Senior High School. The spending per student varies widely, from $21,364 at Mt. Eccles Elementary to $54,952 at Chenega School, suggesting potential funding disparities between the schools.
The presence of two alternative schools, Chenega School and Cordova School District Innovative Learning, indicates that the district is offering specialized educational options to meet the diverse needs of its student population. These alternative schools have very small student populations, which may allow for more personalized attention and support, but could also limit the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities.
