Summary

Calk-Wilson Elementary is a mid-sized school in Corpus Christi, TX, serving 746 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd), where nearly 80% of students come from low-income families.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of English Language Learners (ELL), ranking in the 78th percentile statewide in 2024-2025—a dramatic improvement from the previous year. It also consistently supports students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 59th to 62nd percentile over the last three years. However, there are clear areas for growth. Fifth-grade science scores are persistently low, with only 19.3% of students proficient in 2024-2025, well below the district and state averages. Math performance is uneven: third-grade math proficiency is very low at 30.11%, while fourth and fifth graders perform closer to district averages. Support for special education students has been volatile, though recent data shows improvement to the 45th percentile. Notably, Calk-Wilson achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,301) than many nearby schools, such as Menger Elementary ($14,534) and Yeager Elementary ($12,781), yet it outperforms several of them in overall ranking.

Compared to its neighbors, Calk-Wilson is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer. It ranks higher than Fannin Elementary (14th percentile), Mary Helen Berlanga Elementary (27th), and Cullen Place Elementary (25th), but is outperformed by Hicks Elementary (66th percentile) and the nearby magnet school Windsor Park G/T, which serves a more affluent population. The school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating for the last three years, indicating stability, but has not yet returned to its peak 3-star performance from 2016-2017. Overall, Calk-Wilson is a resource-efficient school with notable strengths in supporting ELL and low-income students, but it faces challenges in science and early math that families may want to explore further.
