Summary:
The nine schools in zip code 75110 (Corsicana, TX) serve students from Pre-K through 12th grade, with the vast majority belonging to the Corsicana Independent School District (Isd), which faces significant challenges as it ranks in the 16th percentile statewide.
Bowie Elementary stands out as the clear academic leader, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 59th percentile—far above the district average. Remarkably, it achieves these results while spending the least per student ($9,654) and having the largest class sizes among district elementary schools, suggesting exceptional efficiency. Sam Houston Elementary shows strong improvement, with its ranking climbing from the 55th to the 45th percentile, and it posted the district's highest 3rd Grade Reading score (65.12% proficient). In contrast, Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary and Fannin Elementary consistently rank in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools, with critically low test scores—for example, only 14.29% of Navarro's 3rd graders were proficient in Reading. Corsicana Middle presents an interesting anomaly: 88.24% of its students taking the Algebra I exam were proficient, dramatically exceeding state averages, though this likely reflects a highly selective group of advanced students. The Two Dimensions At Corsicana charter school, part of the Two Dimensions Preparatory Academy, serves a very high-need population with the lowest spending and highest student-teacher ratio, facing immense resource challenges.
Key metrics reveal a district grappling with high economic disadvantage, as the average free/reduced lunch rate is 78.5%, with a high of 91.41% at Carroll Elementary. Corsicana High School posts a 90.4% graduation rate but a 2.0% dropout rate, slightly above the district average. Per-student spending varies widely, from $7,637 at Two Dimensions to $12,622 at Carroll Elementary, yet higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes—Carroll ranks in the bottom 10% despite its high expenditure. A notable finding is the significant performance gap for Spanish-language test takers at several schools, including Collins Intermediate and Sam Houston, where 0% of Spanish-language math test takers were proficient in some grades, highlighting a critical need for enhanced bilingual support.
