Summary

Bowie Elementary in Corsicana, TX, is a K-4 public school serving 494 students within the Corsicana Independent School District (Isd), and it has recently shown a strong upward trend, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating and now ranking in the 59th percentile statewide.

Bowie Elementary stands out as the highest-performing traditional elementary school in its district, particularly excelling in 4th-grade mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, 68.47% of Bowie's 4th graders were proficient in math, a remarkable 29.5 percentage points higher than the district average and significantly above the state average of 49.28%. This consistent, high-level performance is a clear differentiator from other district schools like Carroll Elementary, Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary, and Fannin Elementary, which have historically ranked in the bottom 10% of Texas schools. Additionally, Bowie demonstrates exceptional support for its Special Education students, ranking in the 87th percentile for this subgroup. The school also achieves better academic outcomes while spending less per student ($9,654) than its lower-performing district peers, suggesting efficient resource allocation.

While Bowie is a leader within Corsicana ISD, it faces strong competition from nearby districts. For example, Mildred Elementary (7.5 miles away) and Rice Elementary (8.2 miles away) are in higher-ranked districts, with Mildred showing strong reading scores. This context is important for parents considering school choice options beyond the Corsicana ISD boundaries. The school's positive trajectory is encouraging, but it has not yet returned to its pre-2023 peak performance, making sustained growth a key focus.
