Coles H S And Educational Center

Summary:

Coles H S And Educational Center is a public high school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 145 students. 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.

Coles H S faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a much higher Hispanic student population (91.03%) and a very high percentage of students (89.66-96.22%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Academically, Coles H S consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Texas high schools, with proficiency rates on STAAR EOC assessments that are 10-30 percentage points lower than the district and state averages across all subjects. The school also has lower graduation rates (80.5% to 86.3%) and higher dropout rates (5.7% to 16.7%) than surrounding schools like King High School and Moody High School, which have graduation rates in the 90-92% range and dropout rates of 1.6-3.6%.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($17,997 in 2020-2021) than the surrounding schools, Coles H S continues to struggle academically, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution. The school's challenges likely indicate broader socioeconomic and community factors that require a more comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of the school's underperformance. Comparing Coles H S to its higher-performing counterparts in the area may provide valuable insights and strategies for improvement.

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.
