Original Research by School Decision on Frances Corprew El
Frances Corprew Elementary serves kindergarten through fourth grade in Mount Pleasant, a community in Titus County. The school enrolls a small cohort of students across five grade levels, with the largest groups in fourth and first grade. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial Black population and a smaller white enrollment. Nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting high economic need in the school's catchment area.
The school's test performance on the 2024-25 STAAR shows proficiency rates below the state norm. In math, third graders reached proficiency at a rate below midpoint, while fourth graders performed slightly better but still below what would indicate strength. English language arts proficiency was lower than math across both tested grades. The school reports data from students tested in both English and Spanish versions of the assessments; Spanish-tested students showed notably lower proficiency rates in both subjects. When looked at across all assessment levels, the school reports that about one in five students achieved mastery in math and ELA, roughly half reached the "meets" level, and about seven in ten approached proficiency in at least one subject. These results place Frances Corprew's overall proficiency index in the bottom quartile among the three districts in Titus County.
A parent may want to look into further detail with the school regarding the performance of Spanish-language learners, given the gap between English and Spanish test results, and to understand what reading and math support systems are in place for students not yet meeting grade-level benchmarks.
The school is a regular public campus, not a charter. It sits within Mount Pleasant ISD, a district that recently faced shifts in the state funding and choice landscape. Texas approved a statewide education savings account program beginning in the 2026-27 school year, allowing families to use public funds for private school or homeschooling, and also increased the per-student allocation to public schools through a legislative funding package. The district's base teacher salary rose in 2025, a step that affects the district's capacity to recruit and keep classroom staff.
Housing in Mount Pleasant's zip code is generally affordable relative to both state and national medians, with median home values running below state benchmark. Rental costs and mortgage costs remain manageable by national standards, though a parent may want to verify current conditions in the school's specific neighborhoods. The local unemployment rate and broader economic indicators suggest a stable labor market in the region.
Frances Corprew is suited for families seeking a neighborhood elementary school in a small, economically diverse community. The school's low proficiency numbers are a real consideration; families should talk directly with the school about what intervention and support systems exist for readers and math learners working below grade level, and what the school is doing to close achievement gaps, particularly for students taking Spanish-language assessments.
