Best Public Schools in Zip Code 78417

Summary:

The 78417 zip code in Corpus Christi, Texas is home to a single elementary school, Los Encinos Ses, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (ISD) and has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 97.86% of students identifying as Hispanic.

Academically, Los Encinos Ses performs on par or slightly above the Corpus Christi ISD and Texas state averages in STAAR Reading proficiency across grades 3-5. However, the school's mathematics performance is more mixed, with 3rd-grade students performing below the district and state averages, but 4th-grade students performing significantly better. In 5th-grade STAAR Science, the school lags behind the district and state, with only 2.22% of students meeting the proficiency standard. The school's high percentage of students (89.29%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates a relatively low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources.

Over the past three years, Los Encinos Ses has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, from 1454 in 2021-2022 to 2457 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may benefit from a closer examination of its practices and implementation of strategies to improve academic outcomes and overall performance, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.4, the school has the potential to provide more personalized attention and support to its students, which could be crucial in addressing the identified areas of concern.
