Sanders Elementary

Summary:

Sanders Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 313 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.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of $12,320 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, Sanders Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2022-2023 school year, the percentage of students at Sanders Elementary who scored proficient or better on STAAR Reading ranged from 39.47% (5th grade) to 45.45% (4th grade), compared to the district's 51.01% (5th grade) and the state's 53.96% (5th grade). The school's performance on STAAR Mathematics and Science was also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Sanders Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of mostly 1 or 2 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Faye Webb Elementary and Dawson Elementary consistently outperform Sanders Elementary on STAAR tests and have higher SchoolDigger ratings (4 stars). These nearby schools serve a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of White and Asian students, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to Sanders Elementary. Despite the higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio at Sanders Elementary, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic performance for the school.

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.
