Summary

Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary is a K-4 public school in the Corsicana Independent School District (Isd), serving 562 students in a high-poverty area where approximately 88-92% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Navarro Elementary has faced significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools for most of the past decade. In the most recent school year, it ranked in the 2nd percentile statewide, making it the lowest-performing school in its district. This is a stark contrast to other district elementary schools like Sam Houston Elementary (45th percentile) and Bowie Elementary (59th percentile), which serve similar demographics but achieve much better results. STAAR test scores at Navarro are critically low, with only 14.29% of 3rd graders proficient in reading and 22.94% of 4th graders proficient in math, compared to state averages of 51.08% and 49.28%, respectively. Notably, the school’s per-student spending ($10,791) is higher than several higher-performing nearby schools, including Mildred Elementary ($8,117) and Rice Elementary ($9,119), suggesting that financial resources alone are not the issue.

One of the most concerning trends is the school’s sharp decline in serving special education students, dropping from the 93rd percentile in 2024-2025 to the 14th percentile in 2025-2026. This catastrophic drop, along with widespread underperformance across nearly all student subgroups, points to systemic challenges within the school. There was a brief period of improvement during the 2021-2022 school year when the school reached the 37th percentile, but this progress was not sustained. The data strongly suggests that factors within the school’s control—such as leadership, teacher quality, and school culture—are major contributors to the performance disparity, especially when compared to district peers like Sam Houston Elementary, which has a similar poverty rate but outperforms Navarro by a wide margin.
