Summary:
The 78408 zip code area of Corpus Christi, Texas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the large percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in this area, Roy Miller H.S. and Metro School of Design has the highest enrollment and graduation rate, as well as stronger performance in 7th and 8th grade reading compared to the district and state averages. Meanwhile, Driscoll Middle stands out for its low dropout rate and high proficiency in Algebra I, significantly exceeding the district and state levels. However, the schools in this area generally perform below the Corpus Christi Independent School District and state averages in most academic areas, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.
The high poverty levels, as evidenced by the extremely high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that these schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to their academic challenges. While the data reveals areas of concern, it also highlights potential bright spots, such as Driscoll Middle's Algebra I proficiency and Roy Miller H.S. and Metro School of Design's reading performance, which could be leveraged to drive improvement across the schools in this zip code area.
