2019 Best School Districts in the Corpus Christi AreaAbout this List

Flour Bluff Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 30

Senior: Coming to Flour Bluff was so great! I personally started in the second grade and immediately noticed a difference in how much I was being challenged in school. Zoom forward into junior high and I was moved into advanced classes years above my peers that gave me the education I needed. In high school I began the University Prep program where I worked hard and in exchange Flour Bluff got me out to the college for free. I'll have 40 or more credits when I graduate, a truly unique opportunity I couldn't have gotten without Flour Bluff school district.

Tuloso-Midway Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 18

Alum: I've attended Tuloso- Midway School District since I was in 5th grade. Although the transition into public school is hard for the majority of kids, when I entered the 5th grade I was welcomed wholeheartedly. The teachers and staff are great at accommodating all types of students, and the students aren't cliquey and are open to new friends. I attended and graduated TM and I couldn't imagine going to any other school for my academic career. Tuloso Midway is by far the best school in Corpus Christi.

Banquete Independent School District

• School District
• Banquete, TX
• 7

Senior: I moved to the Banquete School District about two years ago and it has completely changed my high school experience. Since moving I have competed in many school events and won NCFL for debate where I got to travel from South Texas to Louisville, Kentucky to compete in debate competitions. I have also made state for competing in TAFE. I have gotten more opportunities to achieve my goals at Banquete High School and I will forever remember how accepting and welcoming the school was to me. I will soon be graduating from Banquete and I wouldn't want to graduate from any other high school. I am very lucky and proud to be a senior at Banquete and will forever remember the amazing opportunities that have come my way.

Alum: The quality of teaching at London is highly reputable in Corpus Christi area. London students are passionate and disciplined. A great school for physical, emotional, and academic growth.

Gregory-Portland Independent School District

• School District
• Portland, TX
• 25

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!

Calallen Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 14

Parent: The staff is involved if you contact them and if the students need assistance. The sports are mainly focused on football and need attention in other sports. Coaches should assist seniors in contacting colleges for possibly continuing sports in college. The safety is awesome as the officers are visible throughout the campus and work hand in hand with the administration. Academics are good, but some teachers could explain lessons better, rather than just give assignments. The club's are available and visible throughout the campus. The school itself is old and could use an upgrade. Overall, the school district is academically sound and I do believe my child will succeed in the future.

Orange Grove Independent School District

• School District
• Orange Grove, TX
• 10

Parent: My experience was having to deal with teachers Kids given priority over the other kids. Everyone in the community sees and talks about it, but it’s only until you experience it that you find that it is a fact!
My kids score high in ACT and other functions out of school. Even the STARR test is high because the teachers don’t have control over grading. In class they also score high, but teachers give kid get bonus points/extra credit to make up, ultimately scoring higher. Gpa ends up being higher due to this reason!
Funny thing about it, year after year the top GPA’s end up coming home with out a degree! Why: because high school prepared them to give a score that was false! You need to work and earn what you deserve! This must be changed and stop using the reason that “because they are locals or teachers Kids”

Bishop Consolidated Independent School District

• School District
• Bishop, TX
• 6

Senior: Overall Bishop CISD is a well respected district. Although like with any district, or High school for that matter, they have their flaws. However, compared to other districts in the surrounding area we're one of the best. Students for the most part or well rounded individuals that have a level of respect for each other, much more than any other High school. My personal experience these past four years has been a rather enjoyable one, and although no one is perfect I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else. Small class sizes for the most part, everyone knows just about everyone (no bad blood), and teachers are able to teach and receive results. I'm thankful for be able to attend a district that strives to put the needs of its students first. My final assessment of BHS: Good School (better than the rest).

Corpus Christi Independent School District

• School District
• Corpus Christi, TX
• 65

Senior: This school district and the staff included has helped me become such a better, more understanding, smart person! Everyone is so helpful and understanding, they make you feel as if you're family. This district does everything they can for the students like always providing us the books and other resources that we may need. All CCISD staff and administration make sure to cater to us students by always being there and going the extra mile if it's going to help us. If any of the students need help in any kind of way, we know we have such amazing teachers and staff to go to. It's nice knowing that this school district is truly here for us students and want the best for our futures.

Sinton Independent School District

• School District
• Sinton, TX
• 4

Senior: What I like most about this school is, It's small and there's not a lot of students and it gives you one on one learning time with the teachers. The only thing I don't like about Sinton High School is how limited we are in extra activities, sports and are knowledge about programs that are happening. I would recommend more communication between the school and students. I would greatly appreciate this scholarship because, even though are school being small helps students in some areas, it doesn't give us a lot of scholarship opportunities. Thank you!

Riviera Independent School District

• School District
• Riviera, TX

Sophomore: I enjoy attending Riviera ISD because they have a really good agriculture program. The teachers are attentive and make sure that the students understand the information. The athletic coaches could be better with their ability to communicate to students and athletes but other than that, the school is very good.

Odem-Edroy Independent School District

• School District
• Odem, TX

Senior: Odem-Edroy ISD has been improving in various areas throughout my attendance. The athletic department has recently turned around from mediocre to above average. The Agricultural department has increased by over 100 students within 4 years. I do not care for the administration at any level of the school district. From superintendent to high school principal. They have made such this school has runs off off the best teachers in the school district while demanding high expectations that can not be completed with the lack of resources.

Aransas Pass Independent School District

• School District
• Aransas Pass, TX
• 6

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.

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.

Kingsville Independent School District

• School District
• Kingsville, TX
• 14

Alum: H. M. King Early College highschool is a great school for all types of diversitys. They are a 4a school which makes the whole school very close since they aren't too small and they aren't too big. The teachers at Hmk go above and beyond for there students to teaching them all the way till 6 pm just to keep the students Gpa at 4.0 to supporting them at all there sporting events. Hmking has had over 6 students graduate with an associates degree from CBC this year. They have academic clubs all the way to anime clubs to show the whole school doesn't matter who you are you'll fit in somehow. The principals are the most caring people always trying to make the students ready for the outside life. The school is in tip top shape, having two beautiful domes for athletics that has brought home multiple district champs, a brand new band hall and choir hall that has brought 10 plus students to state. If I were to send my kid to a friendly school it would be to HMK.

Niche User: It was a good school that provided me with lots of free dual credit. I got to experience a “college environment” due to them constructing the high school to look more like college. The food was good, the twacheres were nice and very helpful.

Mathis Independent School District

• School District

Alum: The best thing about Mathis is their pridefulness of their school. There was always a strong community support of their kids at the school district. Mathis ISD allows their students to succeed and strive for the best. The facility encourages their students each and every day to be the best they can be.

Alice Independent School District

• School District
• Alice, TX
• 8

Senior: This school has provided plenty of resources for the student body to help further the education within a student. We have many great teachers who make the learning environment suitable and comfortable, they're are most that don't fit standards when teaching children. More opinions should be take from the student body to develop a technique that makes it possible for teach student to have an enjoyable learning experience. Unfairness has been noted throughout the school when it comes to treatment of students especially when its over sports and other organizations. Alice High School has its points in absolute unity but don't happen often enough to solve problems and causing division within the student body.
