London El, Corpus Christi TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on London El

London Elementary serves pre-K through second grade in Corpus Christi's London Independent School District, a fast-growing district on the city's south side. The school sits in an area where new residential development and school construction are reshaping the suburban footprint, driven by families drawn to newer infrastructure and campuses.

London Elementary's most recent state assessment results show proficiency that sits in the top quartile among Nueces County elementary schools when looking across tested grades and subjects. In third and fourth grade math, roughly half to a majority of students meet proficiency standards. In English language arts across those grades, the proficiency rate hovers near half. The school performed strongly in the last science testing available, with the majority reaching proficiency. These results suggest a mixed academic picture: math shows slightly stronger performance than reading, and there is a gap between students meeting standards and those exceeding them. A parent may want to look into the school's reading support and enrichment strategies, since ELA proficiency is more modest than math.

The school serves a diverse student body. About half the enrollment identifies as Hispanic, roughly a third as white, with smaller shares of Asian students and other backgrounds. Just under a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a community with mixed economic circumstances. The school is small for its grade band, with enrollment distributed across pre-K, kindergarten, and first and second grades. No data on English learner or special education enrollment was available.

London ISD has pursued aggressive expansion to handle rapid growth. In May 2022, voters approved a substantial multi-part bond package to build classroom space at every campus, expand career and technology offerings, acquire land for a new elementary school, construct renovated athletic facilities, and work toward a device for every student while holding the tax rate steady. The district has continued to plan for additional capacity and new programs, including a nursing partnership, reflecting ongoing enrollment pressure. For a family moving into this area, that growth context is direct: class sizes and resource availability are moving targets as the district builds out infrastructure.

The Corpus Christi housing market in this zip code is moderately priced relative to the state and nation, with home values showing a slight recent decline and rents relatively stable. The Southside and westside where London Elementary sits are where much of the city's new residential construction is happening, with apartment complexes and single-family subdivisions drawing families away from older neighborhoods. The area is car-dependent; downtown and bayfront amenities are a short drive away.

This schoolLONDON ISD, same grade

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
