How Early Childhood Development Ctr compares with Texas and U.S. medians
What stands out at Early Childhood Development Ctr
Early Childhood Development Ctr is a higher-need, small combined-grade school in Corpus Christi, Texas, enrolling 150 students.
Class loads run heavy: 18.8:1 is larger than about 89% of Texas schools and 28% above the 14.7:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 62.8% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 150 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 8,960 scored Texas schools.
Among 361 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Texas schools statewide, it ranks #338, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (79%) and White (13%) (diversity index 36/100).
Counselor access is stretched at roughly 938 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.
12.0% of students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 collection, in line with the post-pandemic national range.
The surrounding Corpus Christi Isd spends $9,995 per pupil, 27% below the Texas average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
Its district draws 25.0% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
