Summary

Flour Bluff Elementary in Corpus Christi, TX, serves 742 students in grades 3 and 4 within the highly-rated Flour Bluff Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 88th percentile statewide.

This school is unique because it only serves two grade levels, allowing for specialized instruction. A standout strength is its exceptional support for Gifted and Talented students, who perform in the 84th percentile statewide. The school also shows a strong commitment to equity, with African American students performing in the 75th percentile. However, there is a significant gap in performance between these groups and students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who perform at the 51st percentile. A clear pattern emerges in test scores: 4th graders significantly outperform 3rd graders in both Reading and Math, suggesting the school’s curriculum is particularly effective during the 4th grade year. While the school is a solid performer, it is outperformed by several nearby Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd) schools, such as Faye Webb Elementary (90th percentile) and Creekside Elementary (89th percentile).

Despite spending more per student ($9,608) than some higher-performing nearby schools, the school’s overall ranking has declined from the 76th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 65th percentile in 2025-2026. This downward trend is a point of concern, especially when compared to schools like Barnes Elementary (76th percentile) and Kolda Elementary, which have maintained higher rankings. The challenge for Flour Bluff Elementary appears to be less about funding and more about how resources are allocated to support its economically disadvantaged students, who make up over 55% of the student body.
