Academic performance
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]

Noteworthy events
2014: Debate over teacher tenure
Members of the Corpus Christi chapter of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) demonstrated outside of the district's administration building on April 28, 2014, to protest district policy on teacher tenure. Board members Carol Scott, Jane Bell, John Longoria, and Dwayne Hargis rejected a measure to reinstate continuing contracts during a meeting on April 21, 2014. These contracts were eliminated from the district in 2011 due to concerns over the length of legal processes required to remove teachers deemed ineffective. Local AFT chapter president Ray McMurray stated that the board vote continued a series of measures that lessened job security for teachers. Longoria responded that the district had raised teacher salaries despite state budget cuts.[10]
