Summary:
The Corsicana Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Corsicana High School, which educates students in grades 9 through 12 and has an enrollment of 1,837 students. The school serves a community where over two-thirds of students are economically disadvantaged, as indicated by the 68.37% eligibility rate for free or reduced lunch.
Corsicana High School shows a stark contrast in academic performance across subjects. The most significant challenge is in Algebra I, where only 18.41% of students are proficient, compared to the state average of 54.03%—a gap of over 35 percentage points. In contrast, U.S. History is a relative strength, with a 66.97% proficiency rate that nearly matches the state average of 70.17%. Other subjects like Biology (55.21% proficient), English I (38.08%), and English II (40.85%) all fall below state averages. The school's graduation rate is 90.4%, with a dropout rate of 2.0%, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 28th percentile of Texas high schools for the past three years, currently sitting at 1,525 out of 2,009 schools.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Corsicana High School faces persistent academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where performance is critically low. While the school shows a slight positive trend in English proficiency rates and performs near the state average in U.S. History, overall achievement remains below state benchmarks. The student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 is slightly higher than the state average, and the school's stable, low ranking suggests that current strategies have not yet led to significant improvement. This information can help parents understand the specific areas where the school may need additional support and where their children might require extra academic attention.
