2022 Best School Districts in the Corpus Christi Area

Port Aransas Independent School District

• School District
• PORT ARANSAS, TX
• Rating 5 out of 5  2 reviews

Sophomore: Port Aransas High School is, in my opinion, one of the best schools out there. The teachers provide plenty of one on one time to help with schoolwork and to guide you. Classes are taught very well, and it's hard to fail in such an environment. There are very few teachers who don't teach you to the best of their abilities and provide you with every resource you need.

London Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 4.29 out of 5  14 reviews

Senior: My experience at London ISD has been a very good one. I love the close knit community being apart of a small school provides. There are only 72 students in my graduating class and I wouldn't have it any other way! I get to graduate with my best friends and it is such a blessing! The academics at London ISD have been challenging, yet worth while. I have had some great experiences taking the upper level courses my school provides. I will be graduating high school with a full years worth of college credit which is such a nice advantage going into my freshman year of college. The athletics department at London ISD has also been an area that I thrived in during my 4 years spent there. The school provides all of the sports that any bigger schools in my area provide and we've been able to remain competitive in our district in almost all of them. Additionally, I have had nothing but good experiences participating in only some of the many clubs and organizations at London ISD.

Tuloso-Midway Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 4.54 out of 5  26 reviews

Parent: As a parent I was overall very pleased with TM
ISD. My daughter did very well there academically. She got along well with her teachers and was quite close to her cheer coach. The district also has an International Studies Club which allowed my daughter to travel the world. She’s been to 15 countries in 3 years, an opportunity she would not have had at any other local school. The district also has year around school which means the kids are out for week after every six weeks and seven weeks during the summer. This schedule is awesome as it allows for the students to have breaks throughout the year but they still have vacation time during the summer

Calallen Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 4.07 out of 5  29 reviews

Parent: It is one of the best in the areas! There are a lot of great families in the school district. Great football and baseball programs. College readiness could be better. Some of the schools need updating, especially the high school. I’m concerned with student safety. It’s a very cliquish school. If you are new to the area, it can be hard to fit in.

Banquete Independent School District

• School District
• BANQUETE, TX
• Rating 4.55 out of 5  11 reviews

Alum: I'm very grateful for Banquete ISD and all they have done for me and my family. As a graduate, I can honestly say there's no place I'd have rather come from. The administration is there to help you succeed in everything possible. With the help of everyone in the community, I was able to graduate with an Associates of Science before even graduating high school, competed at several national and state competitions, have dozens of certifications, and have just been guided in so many ways to my current path, something that would not have likely happened anywhere else. There is so much to do in the Banquete ISD education system and so much support from all of the faculty. I am proud to call myself a bulldog for life.

Flour Bluff Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 4.35 out of 5  48 reviews

Senior: I overall have enjoyed my experience here at Flour Bluff. The administration tried there best to make it a safe and smooth running environment. However, I think there are some things that need to be reconsidered. One is no off campus lunch. So many schools do that and I feel like it is our responsibility if we leave to be back in time and the fact that we don't even get the chance is upsetting. Another thing is off periods as a senior. You're only allowed two. I think we should have the opportunity to have as many off periods as we can. If I got the required amount of credits I would only have to have two classes right now but instead I'm having to take six and it's making my GPA go down which is not something I want to happen with college quickly approaching.

Gregory-Portland Independent School District

• School District
• PORTLAND, TX
• Rating 4.15 out of 5  33 reviews

Alum: Compared to other schools I've been in, this is a good school. However, there's little to no guidance if someone's not familiar with the system. I only had one teacher kindly enough to explain. (Teachers, overall, are great, just not in this aspect.) Not even orientation was helpful: it was assumed everybody came directly from an in-town Junior High. A foreigner, like myself, would feel lost and ignored.

Clubs vary regarding quality. Art club - as much as I liked the advisor - was horribly organized, events weren't year round and lost 90% of their members. The Spanish club is very "hidden", and announcements depend on phones, inconvenient at times. On the other hand, the German club was organized much better and had events year round.

In other areas, this school stands well, (well...maybe too much focus on football) They excel in college readiness. They have a counselor just for that. They also have dual credit classes; classes credited in high school and college!

Corpus Christi Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 3.95 out of 5  167 reviews

Alum: CCISD gave me the best years as a student. I attended many schools of fine arts which really helped develop my mind as a child. I remember everyone being involved and connected, there were always after school events of fundraisers and might I say I was very competitive when it came to those year round candle sells. The diversity was there but I would have appreciated to see a lot more, Corpus is just small and lacks diversity within itself so what can you do? Furthermore, the academics were outstanding and the teachers really do implement themselves into your lives. They allow you to learn at your own pace and never made you feel bad about it. Overall an amazing school district and I can't wait to have my children attend one day!

Sinton Independent School District

• School District
• SINTON, TX
• Rating 3.88 out of 5  8 reviews

Senior: Throughout my four years at Sinton High School the best thing is definitely the pride of the never ending S. Whether or not our teams from sports to clubs or academic groups were winning or losing, the pride was there. For the most part I haven't had a teacher I hated, maybe disliked from time to time. The staff is very caring, they genuinely care about helping their students be their best. Our campus is definitely not the newest, besides our newer gym, but that's what makes it special. Since our school hasn't been rebuilt we can see past generations marks that are left here. Whether its past football players names written in the inside of a locker or teachers desk filled with her students names from the past 10 years, or even the lockers that line our halls that haven't been used for the past 20 years because of past generations bad decisions.

Aransas County Independent School District

• School District
• ROCKPORT, TX
• Rating 3.6 out of 5  10 reviews

Sophomore: The majority of teachers in the Aransas County Independent School District have a passion for teaching their subject, which creates positive environments for education and growth. However, as in most school districts, if a student defends themself from a bully attacking them, disciplinary actions are taken against them both. The counseling system brings an "anonymous" reporter of a bully and their bully into the same room and request that they "hug it out". Overall a very good school district other than the grievances listed with the counseling system.

• Rating 4 out of 5  4 reviews

Senior: Its small and close knit which makes for an amazing high school experience. The food on the other hand was not the best but I cannot blame the school or staff for the lack of funding available. The teachers and other staff members were nothing but supportive and assistive to furthering my education. Im so thankful to have grown up there.

Aransas Pass Independent School District

• School District
• ARANSAS PASS, TX
• Rating 3.56 out of 5  9 reviews

Senior: I'd like to see more textbooks checked out to students, and more one on one teacher involvement. Not to mention, the actual school building is in terrible condition. The ceilings are caving in, and anytime it rains, the classrooms flood. Our gym floor actually came up and was touching the ceiling form being so swollen with water damage. I do love how college oriented this school is. They're on top of helping everybody doing their applications and applying for different schools. The staff is very friendly and I love the counselors.

West Oso Independent School District

• School District
• CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
• Rating 4 out of 5  17 reviews

Junior: I like that at West Oso High School there is a lot of help that is guaranteed for you. All the teachers, administrators, and counselors are always there for you and they help you maintain your grades while still being self efficient. I believe the school could be better in having more spirit but that is the only downside. The programs they have here to offer is really great and they help you get prepared for college and even gain college hours as well as a degree.

San Diego Independent School District

• School District
• SAN DIEGO, TX
• Rating 4.33 out of 5  9 reviews

Senior: Being a student here at San Diego High school has allowed me to be successful with furthering my education. Not only are you allowed to be a high school student, but you're also able to be a college student and get a head start on furthering your education. This will allow me to graduate with an associate this May.
Also, your safety isn't a concern as a student. There is never fights and everybody gets along. If there ever is a safety issue, our administration has developed drills for any weather or safety concern a parent may have.

Robstown Independent School District

• School District
• ROBSTOWN, TX
• Rating 3.79 out of 5  19 reviews

Senior: During my time at Robstown Early College High School, I was able to create memories that will last a lifetime. The incredible teachers and faculty members established a mind set in the in us that we must believe. First of all, in ourselves no matter where we originate or our circumstances and secondly, we can make our dreams into reality. My teachers made it a necessity to keep our minds optimistic and to plan for a brighter/ better future. We were fortunate enough to obtain college credits while undergoing high school courses. I was able to gain a certificate in phlebotomy at the incredible age of 16. As I walk the stage in 2021, I will remember all the supportive mentors I’ve had while attending RECHS. So many different backgrounds and personalities that molded me into the person I am today. If I had to change anything my first response would be to create more clubs and extracurricular options. For instance, a debate club so students can speak their perspectives on world issues.

Kingsville Independent School District

• School District
• KINGSVILLE, TX
• Rating 3.95 out of 5  20 reviews

Niche User: was the best four years of my life! Because of that, I expected to have a blast when I entered freshman year. However, I didn’t realize high school was the best four years of my life because they made it the best years of their lives. I didn’t realize that if I also wanted to have the best four years of my life, I needed to do things I actually enjoyed. I definitely haven’t been having the best time of my life these past four years. But I also know people who are in every extracurricular in existence, who are also taking amazing and interactive classes – they seem to be really enjoying their high school experience. While I don’t regret taking the classes I’m taking, I do wish I could have had the chance to make more meaningful memories rather than make more flashcards for my next chemistry test.

Taft Independent School District

• Rating 4 out of 5  4 reviews

Senior: I like going to school here because it is small. Being such a small school you know everyone you go to school with and class sizes are small. I'm friends with almost everyone in school and those friends are like family, even though I'm related to a lot of people in the school.
