MT. ECCLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Mt. Eccles Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Cordova City School District school district, located in Cordova, AK with about 181 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, Mt. Eccles Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Mt. Eccles Elementary, located in the coastal community of Cordova, Alaska, serves as the primary educational foundation for the local school district. Situated at 201 Adams Ave, the school is deeply integrated into its unique geographic setting, often leveraging the rich natural surroundings of the Copper River Delta and Prince William Sound to enhance student learning.

The school is dedicated to providing a comprehensive curriculum that prepares students for middle school while emphasizing the values of the Cordova community. Through its affiliation with the Cordova School District, Mt. Eccles focuses on personalized instruction, small class dynamics, and the integration of technology to meet modern educational standards.
