Summary

Kostoryz Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 388. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), which is ranked 502 out of 961 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kostoryz Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with its performance on STAAR tests generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's student population is predominantly economically disadvantaged, with 89.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Kostoryz Elementary also serves a significant population of English Language Learners and students with special needs.

Despite the school's relatively low performance, Kostoryz Elementary spends more per student and has a lower student-to-teacher ratio compared to the district average. This suggests that the school may have the potential to improve its academic outcomes if the available resources are effectively utilized and targeted towards the specific needs of its student population. Nearby schools like Mary Helen Berlanga Elementary and Fannin Elementary may offer additional insights and opportunities for collaboration to support the academic success of Kostoryz Elementary's students.
