Summary:
Yeager Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 285 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.
Yeager Elementary faces significant academic and demographic challenges compared to its surrounding schools and the district/state averages. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (87.72%) than nearby schools, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Yeager's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 35.29%, compared to the district's 48.23% and the state's 48.85%. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and English Language Learners, also perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests. Additionally, Yeager Elementary has a very high percentage of students (87.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While Yeager Elementary's performance is generally lower than the surrounding schools, there are some exceptions. In 2022-2023, the school's 5th grade reading proficiency (51%) was higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the nearby Schanen Estates Elementary, which has a similar demographic and economic profile, outperformed Yeager in several grade levels and subjects. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's relatively high per-student spending suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
