Public Grades

Summary

Montclair Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 323 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), which is ranked 623 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Montclair Elementary stands out in several key ways. It has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (81.11%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 49.92% to 94.19% Hispanic students. Academically, Montclair's performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 43%, compared to the district's 47% and the state's 50%. Montclair's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 2839 out of 4647 Texas elementary schools in 2022-2023 (rated 2 out of 5 stars) to 3561 out of 4479 in 2018-2019 (rated 1 out of 5 stars). The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its White students ranking 913 out of 3106 Texas elementary schools (rated 4 out of 5 stars) and its Hispanic students ranking 3014 out of 4401 (rated 2 out of 5 stars).

Montclair Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.32% in 2020-2021 to 82.97% in 2022-2023, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, coupled with the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby schools like Yeager Elementary, Schanen Estates Elementary, and Smith Elementary, raises questions about the adequacy of funding and resources available to support Montclair's students. However, the school's performance has shown some fluctuations over the years, suggesting that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right interventions and support.
