Galvan Elementary

Summary:

Galvan Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 512 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.

Galvan Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (91.6%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 83-94% Hispanic. Academically, Galvan's test scores are generally lower than district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 47.62%, compared to the district's 48.23% and the state's 48.85%. Additionally, Galvan has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 73.62% to 80.66% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

While Galvan Elementary's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 14.6 to 15.0 over the past three years, this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Dawson Elementary and Los Encinos SES, have performed better on state assessments, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies.

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.
