Cullen Place Elementary

Summary:

Cullen Place Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 333 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), which is ranked 595 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cullen Place Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (84.08%) compared to the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (11.71%). The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, which is below the district and state average. White students at Cullen Place perform significantly better than other student groups, ranking in the top 20% of Texas elementary schools, while English Language Learners and Special Education students perform better than the overall school ranking, but still below the state average. However, female, male, and Hispanic students perform below the state average for their respective subgroups.

Cullen Place Elementary's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels, with the school's strongest performance in 5th-grade Reading. The school's high percentage of students (over 84%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a high level of economic disadvantage, which likely contributes to the school's lower academic performance. While the school's per-student spending has increased, its performance continues to lag behind the district and state averages, similar to other nearby Sanders Elementary, Calk-Wilson Elementary, and Yeager Elementary. However, the district's Windsor Park G/T stands out with exceptional performance, ranking in the top 1% of Texas elementary schools.

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.

Open Quote I love going to work everyday. The Administrator's are so easy to work for and I love working with the kids. I assist in extracurricular activities after work and truly enjoy every moment. I don't look at it as work, but making a difference in a child's life through education. Close Quote

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.
