Summary:

Grant Middle is a public middle school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 789 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Grant Middle has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (80.35%) compared to the state average for Texas middle schools. The school's performance on STAAR tests is mixed, with 6th grade reading proficiency (60.67%) higher than the district (54.93%) and state (54.45%) averages, but 8th grade math proficiency (30.32%) lower than the district (30.52%) and state (40.23%) averages. However, the school stands out in Algebra I, with 84.31% of students achieving proficiency, significantly higher than the district (32.88%) and state (44.73%) averages. Grant Middle's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school performing particularly well for Asian and African American students but struggling with Hispanic and low socioeconomic status students.

When compared to other middle schools in the CCISD district, Grant Middle's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than the district average. However, the school lags significantly behind the top-performing London Middle (part of the London ISD) across all subject areas and grade levels. Grant Middle's high percentage of students (58.56%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, as well as a decrease in funding per student over the past three years, may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
