While both schools serve high school grades, the data analysis reveals significant differences in their academic performance, graduation rates, and overall effectiveness.
The standout school in the district appears to be Por Vida Academy Corpus Christi, which outperformed the overall Por Vida Academy district and the state of Texas in most STAAR EOC subject areas, with significantly higher proficiency rates. In contrast, Por Vida Academy Charter High School struggled academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.
