Oak Park Special Emphasis School

Summary:

Oak Park Special Emphasis School is an elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 518 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District, which is ranked 595 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Park has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (87.64%) compared to the state average, and lower percentages of White (5.79%) and African American (5.79%) students. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Texas elementary schools based on the SchoolDigger statewide ranking, with STAAR test scores that are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35% of 3rd-5th graders were proficient in reading, compared to 48.85% statewide, and in math, the proficiency rates ranged from 18.75% to 35.06%, compared to 40.86% to 48.96% statewide. Over 96% of Oak Park's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When compared to nearby schools in the Corpus Christi ISD, such as Wynn Seale Metropolitan School Of Design and Travis Elementary, the academic performance gap at Oak Park is quite stark. These nearby schools, while still serving predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student populations, have significantly higher STAAR proficiency rates and higher SchoolDigger rankings. The high concentration of economic disadvantage at Oak Park may be a significant factor contributing to its low academic performance, and the school's "Special Emphasis" designation suggests it may be serving a unique population of students with specialized needs.

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.
