Corpus Christi ISD district officials are praising teachers, students and school leaders upon notification that, for the 2024-2025 school year, the district earned an 81, or “B” accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency’s state accountability system.
“Our Board of Trustees and I are so very proud of everyone working in and supporting our schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “The work of our school staff, combined with exemplary support at the district level as well as our implementation of restrictions on cellphone use last year, clearly made a difference for our students.”
Despite changes to the STAAR redesign, including the state’s implementation of automated scoring engines for student written responses, and significant changes to the accountability system, CCISD schools demonstrated significant improvements from 2023-2024. Nine Corpus Christi ISD schools continued to shine at the highest level with an “A” rating.
Windsor Park Elementary, Collegiate High School and Harold T. Branch Academy for Career and Technical Education continued to achieve “A” ratings. Additional “A” campuses in the district include Barnes Elementary School, Creekside Elementary School, the Early Childhood Development Center, Webb Elementary School, Baker Middle School, and Veterans Memorial High School, more than double the number of campuses who received an “A” rating last school year.
Additionally, 27 campuses earned a “B” rating, more than double the number of campuses receiving a “B” rating last school year. The district has been steadfastly working to support the 14 schools given “C” ratings, as well as the two schools, Cullen Elementary School and Martin Middle School, rated “D.” For the first time since 2023, no CCISD schools received an “F” rating.
Forty campuses were awarded at least one “Distinction Designation,” for a district total of 137 distinctions, almost doubling the 72 distinctions earned last school year. Creekside Elementary, Dawson Elementary, Hicks Elementary, Los Encinos Elementary, and Windsor Park Elementary earned all eligible distinctions for their schools.
“We are beginning a new school year with renewed confidence in our ability to help all students advance their education,” Hernandez said. “Public schools welcome every student, and last year we unquestionably demonstrated that, working together, we help our students succeed.”
