Summary

Martin Middle is a public school in Corpus Christi, TX, serving 406 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd).

Martin Middle has historically ranked in the bottom 12% of Texas middle schools, with a 1-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year. Over 96% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, the highest rate among nearby schools. For context, Baker Middle (2 miles away) has a 64% rate and ranks in the 75th percentile, while London Middle (6 miles away) has a 20% rate and ranks in the 94th percentile. Despite spending over $10,700 per student—higher than top-performing peers like Baker ($6,285) and Grant Middle ($6,576)—and maintaining a favorable 13.7:1 student-teacher ratio, the school's core subject proficiency rates are consistently 15-25 points below district and state averages. However, there is a striking anomaly: 91.3% of students taking Algebra I were proficient, compared to just 50.66% district-wide, suggesting a highly effective advanced math program or a very select group of students enrolled.

There are some positive trends. Martin Middle's performance with English Language Learners (ELL) has improved dramatically, rising from the 8th percentile two years ago to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026. Similarly, male and Hispanic students have seen notable gains, moving from the 4th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 16th and 14th percentiles, respectively. A historical spike in the dropout rate to 5.2% in 2020-2021 (more than double the district average) has since dropped to around 1.2%. These data points suggest that while the school faces significant challenges tied to concentrated poverty, targeted interventions may be starting to yield results for specific student groups.
