Summary:
The 78416 zip code area of Corpus Christi, Texas, is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary to high school, with the majority being elementary schools. These schools are part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (ISD) and the West Oso Independent School District (ISD), as well as the Dr. M.L. Garza-Gonzalez Charter School.
Among the standout schools in the area, Moody High School has the highest enrollment with 1,316 students and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.0%. However, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is below the district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the Dr. M.L. Garza-Gonzalez Charter School has the lowest enrollment with 162 students and a lower 4-year graduation rate of 66.7%, but its STAAR test scores are mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the schools in the Corpus Christi ISD and the schools in the lower-ranked West Oso ISD, such as Martin Middle School and West Oso Elementary. This suggests that the quality of education and resources available to students may be influenced by the school district they are in. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all the schools indicates that these schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by some of the schools.
