Premier H S - Corpus Christi

Summary:

Premier H S - Corpus Christi is a public charter high school serving 104 students in grades 9-12 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Despite its small size, the school faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools based on its performance.

Premier H S - Corpus Christi's academic struggles are particularly pronounced for its Hispanic, low-income, and male student subgroups, which all perform in the bottom 10-15% of Texas high schools. The school has a concerning 30.1% dropout rate, well above the state average, and its proficiency rates on the STAAR End-of-Course exams are far below the state and Corpus Christi Independent School District averages across all subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from just 7.69% in English I Reading to 41.38% in U.S. History, compared to the state averages of 53.77% and 69.1%, respectively.

When compared to nearby high schools, Premier H S - Corpus Christi's performance is significantly lower. For instance, Harold T. Branch Academy for Career & Technical Education, located just 3.68 miles away, ranked in the top 10% of Texas high schools and had much higher proficiency rates on the STAAR EOC exams. The school's high poverty rates, small student population, and status as a public charter school may contribute to the challenges it faces in academic achievement, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

2022	59	5.0	11.8	94.9

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
