The 78412 zip code area of Corpus Christi, Texas is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. This data set provides a detailed look at the performance and demographics of these schools, highlighting both areas of excellence and significant challenges within the Corpus Christi Independent School District.
The standout school in this set is Windsor Park G/T, an exceptional elementary school that consistently ranks among the top 5-10 in the state. With over 90% of students proficient or better in reading and math, Windsor Park G/T demonstrates that students in this district can achieve at the highest levels when provided the right resources and curriculum. In contrast, the other schools in the data set generally have test scores below the district and state averages, with Haas Middle School and Cullen Place Elementary performing the weakest.
Despite the lower test scores, the schools in this data set appear to be investing reasonably in their students, with spending per student and student-teacher ratios that are on par with or better than the district averages. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the academic struggles, such as the high free/reduced lunch rates across most of the schools, which indicate significant socioeconomic challenges in the 78412 zip code area. Addressing these inequities and supporting the lowest-performing schools will be crucial to ensuring all students in this community have access to a high-quality education.
