Summary:
The Corsicana Independent School District (ISD) in Texas is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools, which include Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary, Bowie Elementary, Carroll Elementary, Sam Houston Elementary, and Fannin Elementary, serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Among the 5 elementary schools, Sam Houston Elementary stands out as the top performer, with a 3-star statewide rating and significantly higher proficiency rates in STAAR reading and math tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, 72.09% of 4th graders at Sam Houston were proficient or better in STAAR reading, compared to the district average of 27.23% and the state average of 50.66%. Sam Houston also serves a predominantly Hispanic (80.87%) and economically disadvantaged (84.28% free/reduced lunch) student population.
The other schools in the Corsicana ISD show more varied academic performance, with some schools, such as Jose Antonio Navarro Elementary and Carroll Elementary, experiencing declines in their statewide rankings over the past few years. The data also reveals significant disparities in student-teacher ratios and spending per student across the district, which may contribute to the observed differences in academic outcomes. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted interventions to support economically disadvantaged students will be crucial for the Corsicana ISD to improve educational outcomes for all its elementary school students.
