Calk-Wilson Elementary

Summary:

Calk-Wilson Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 693 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 Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Calk-Wilson Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with STAAR test scores in reading, math, and science generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in STAAR Science, compared to the district average of 20.77% and the state average of 26.29%. The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated between the 2,360th and 3,015th position out of around 4,500 Texas elementary schools over the past decade, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with higher rankings for Asian and African American students compared to other subgroups, such as English Language Learners and At-Risk students.

Calk-Wilson Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past three school years. This is a key differentiating factor compared to the nearby schools, such as Hicks Elementary, Yeager Elementary, and Cullen Place Elementary, which have similar demographic profiles and academic performance levels. Addressing the school's challenges will require targeted interventions and support programs to meet the specific needs of its diverse student population.

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.
