Summary

Shaw Ses is an elementary school in Corpus Christi, TX, serving 638 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd), and it serves a highly disadvantaged population with over 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Shaw Ses has historically ranked in the bottom 20-30% of Texas elementary schools, currently sitting at the 24th percentile, which is notably lower than nearby schools like Wynn Seale Metropolitan School Of Design (77th percentile) and Houston Elementary (55th percentile). However, the school has shown recent improvement, climbing from the 9th percentile in 2023-2024 to its current rank. A key weakness is 5th-grade Science, where only 16% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 27%. In contrast, the school has a notable strength in Spanish-language instruction, with 60% of 3rd graders proficient in Reading (Spanish) in 2025-2026, far exceeding the state average of 28%.

An interesting pattern is the "5th Grade Bump" in Reading, where 5th graders consistently outperform 3rd and 4th graders, suggesting a strong teaching team or targeted interventions at that grade level. The school's performance with English Language Learners is mixed, with strong Spanish test scores but inconsistent overall rankings. Compared to Wynn Seale Metropolitan School Of Design, just 1.6 miles away, Shaw Ses has significantly lower test scores despite serving a similar demographic, highlighting the impact of school-level factors like leadership and curriculum. While challenges remain, the recent upward trend offers hope for continued improvement.
