Yeager Elementary

Summary:

Yeager Elementary is a public elementary school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 285 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.

Yeager Elementary faces significant academic and demographic challenges compared to its surrounding schools and the district/state averages. The school has a much higher Hispanic student population (87.72%) than nearby schools, and its academic performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Yeager's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 35.29%, compared to the district's 48.23% and the state's 48.85%. The school's student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and English Language Learners, also perform below the district and state averages on STAAR tests. Additionally, Yeager Elementary has a very high percentage of students (87.72%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Yeager Elementary's performance is generally lower than the surrounding schools, there are some exceptions. In 2022-2023, the school's 5th grade reading proficiency (51%) was higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the nearby Schanen Estates Elementary, which has a similar demographic and economic profile, outperformed Yeager in several grade levels and subjects. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's relatively high per-student spending suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
