Gibson Elementary

Summary:

Gibson Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 393 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD), which is ranked 595 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gibson Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR tests is well below the district and state averages, with only 32.61% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading, compared to 48.23% for the district and 48.85% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for African American and White student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Texas elementary schools for these groups. Gibson Elementary also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio and slightly lower per-student spending compared to the district and state averages.

Comparing Gibson Elementary to nearby schools within the CCISD district, such as Wynn Seale Metropolitan School Of Design and Allen Elementary, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support at Gibson Elementary. These nearby schools generally perform better academically, with higher STAAR proficiency rates and higher statewide rankings, though they also serve a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The lack of progress at Gibson Elementary over the past decade suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of evidence-based practices to drive sustainable improvements and address the achievement gaps for the school's underperforming student subgroups.

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.
