Promesa College Prep West Corpus Christi

Summary:

Promesa College Prep West Corpus Christi is an alternative public charter school serving grades PK-10 in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a student population of 391. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 724 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Promesa College Prep West Corpus Christi stands out in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (over 90%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse racial compositions. Academically, Promesa consistently outperforms the Corpus Christi ISD and the state of Texas in various STAAR test subjects and grade levels, particularly in reading. The school has also maintained a 0% dropout rate for the past two school years, which is significantly lower than the state average. However, the school's per-student spending has decreased over the past few years, from $14,287 in 2018-2019 to $7,574 in 2020-2021, which may impact its ability to provide necessary resources and support for its students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as SST Corpus Christi and Student Support Center, Promesa College Prep West Corpus Christi stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in reading, despite having a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing School of Science and Technology Discovery in several academic areas, such as math and science proficiency, suggesting opportunities for Promesa to learn from the practices and strategies of other successful schools in the area.

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.

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.
