Corsicana Independent School District (Isd)

The Corsicana Independent School District (ISD) in Texas operates 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. While a few standout schools like Sam Houston Elementary perform relatively well, the majority of the schools in the Corsicana ISD struggle with test scores well below state averages, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance within the district. Sam Houston Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, while other schools like Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary have proficiency rates as low as 9.84% in 4th grade Reading, compared to the state average of 50.66%. Similarly, Bowie Elementary performs relatively well, but the district's high school and middle school students lag behind state averages in STAAR test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

The high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.6% at Bowie Elementary to 95.82% at Carroll Elementary, suggest that the Corsicana ISD is serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the district. Addressing these issues will require targeted interventions, equitable resource allocation, and a focus on supporting the schools that are struggling the most.
