Summary

Sam Houston Elementary in Corsicana, TX, is a K-4 public school in the Corsicana Independent School District (Isd) serving 422 students in a community where about 81% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school has a unique story: it was once a top performer, consistently earning 4- and 5-star ratings and ranking in the 80th to 91st percentile statewide from 2016 to 2022, but it has recently dropped to a 2-star rating (45th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

Despite this decline, Sam Houston remains the highest-performing traditional elementary in its district. For example, its 3rd-grade Reading proficiency (65.12%) is more than double that of Bowie Elementary (44.33%) and more than triple that of Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary (14.29%). However, the school’s overall drop masks a complex picture. While White students still perform well (86th percentile in 2023-2024), the school is struggling significantly with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 3rd percentile that same year. Additionally, the Spanish language program is a critical weakness: in 2024-2025, 3rd-grade Reading proficiency in English was 37.21%, but in Spanish it was only 6.06%, indicating the bilingual program is not effectively serving English Language Learners.

For parents comparing options, Mildred Elementary, just 6.4 miles away in the Mildred Independent School District (Isd), offers a contrasting picture with a lower poverty rate (48% free/reduced lunch) and strong, consistent performance—its 5th-grade Reading proficiency was 74.03% in 2025-2026. Meanwhile, Bowie Elementary in the same district has shown steady improvement, rising from the 40th to the 59th percentile over three years, and significantly outperformed Sam Houston in 4th-grade Math (68.47% vs. 34.85%). Sam Houston’s historical success with at-risk students (97th percentile in 2021-2022) suggests it has strong potential, but its recent challenges with special education and bilingual programs are key areas for parents to investigate further.
