Summary:

The Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd) serves 52 schools in Texas, including elementary, middle, and high schools, and is ranked in the 49th percentile statewide, indicating performance slightly below the state average.

The district is a study in contrasts, with a few standout schools achieving exceptional results. Windsor Park G/T is the top elementary school, ranking 4th in Texas with near-perfect test scores, while Collegiate High School leads high schools with a 100% graduation rate and a 97th percentile ranking. Among comprehensive high schools, Veterans Memorial High School stands out with a 97.7% graduation rate and strong academics. In contrast, schools like Travis Elementary and Coles H S And Educational Center face significant challenges, with very low test scores and high dropout rates. Middle schools also show a clear divide: Kaffie Middle and Adkins Middle perform well, while Cunningham Middle At South Park and Driscoll Middle struggle.

A key finding is that higher per-student spending does not guarantee better performance; schools with the highest spending, like Menger Elementary and Los Encinos Ses, often have the lowest test scores, while top performers like Faye Webb Elementary and Creekside Elementary spend less. Specialized schools, such as Harold T Branch Academy For Career & Technical Educational, also show strong results, suggesting focused programs can drive success. Overall, the district's performance is heavily influenced by socioeconomic factors, with schools serving higher-poverty populations facing the greatest hurdles.
