Summary

Kolda Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Corpus Christi, TX, serving 641 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd).

Kolda has a history of being a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the 85th to 91st percentile from 2016 to 2022. However, recent data shows a significant decline, with its statewide rank dropping from the 89th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 61st percentile in 2025-2026. This decline is most pronounced in mathematics, where 5th-grade proficiency fell from 79% to 43% over the same period. Reading scores have been more resilient, still outperforming district and state averages, and 5th-grade science remains a bright spot, with 37% of students proficient compared to 27% for the district. The school is also serving a growing number of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with free or reduced lunch eligibility rising from 36% to 46% in recent years.

Kolda is geographically close to two exceptionally high-performing schools: Faye Webb Elementary (90th percentile) and Creekside Elementary (89th percentile), both of which have lower rates of economic disadvantage and consistently outperform Kolda in most subjects. This creates a competitive dynamic for families seeking top-tier performance. Kolda’s strength in reading and science provides a foundation to build upon, but a focused effort to reverse the decline in math and support its changing student body will be essential for returning to its former standing.

Kolda is the best elementary school we have ever been a part of. The administration, faculty, and staff are all wonderful. They show that they really love their jobs which makes the students love learning. The PTA is awesome as well. There is always something going on to involve families in the school and create a sense of community. Close Quote
