Summary

Calallen High School in Corpus Christi, TX, serves 1,147 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the highly-rated Calallen Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 77th percentile statewide. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating for the past decade, ranking in the top 20-25% of Texas high schools, and benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.5:1 with per-student spending of approximately $12,221.

Calallen stands out from nearby schools with superior academic achievement on STAAR End-of-Course exams. For example, in Biology, Calallen's proficiency rate of 87.19% far exceeds Moody High School (59.01%) and Roy Miller H S And Metro School Of Design (42.65%). In English I and II, Calallen's proficiency rates of roughly 71-73% are nearly double those of Moody and Miller. The school also demonstrates strong performance across all student demographics, earning 4-star ratings for Hispanic, White, African American, Low Socio-Economic Status, and Special Education students. However, Algebra I proficiency at 52.59% is slightly below the state average and trails the specialized Harold T Branch Academy For Career & Technical Educational (59.52%), which achieves a higher state ranking despite serving a more economically disadvantaged population.

An interesting comparison is with Tuloso-Midway High School, located just 4.18 miles away with similar enrollment. While Calallen is a consistent 4-star school, Tuloso-Midway is a 2-3 star school, with a striking gap in 2024-2025 Algebra I and English I proficiency rates of just 3.49% and 5.43%, respectively. Calallen also shows a lower rate of economic disadvantage (45.16% on free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby schools like Moody (87.41%) and West Oso High School (94.7%). The school's performance with Gifted and Talented students has been volatile, dropping from the 96th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 18th percentile in 2025-2026, an area worth investigating.
