Campus Profile

Flour Bluff Independent School District, established in 1937, has been serving the community for decades. Encompassing a sprawling 156 square mile area, which includes 100 square miles of water and 56 square miles of land, our district offers a unique advantage. Nestled within the vibrant metropolitan Corpus Christi, with an estimated population of 320,434, our community enjoys a wealth of cultural, economic, and educational benefits. However, we take pride in maintaining a separate independent school district that prioritizes high standards and local control.

At Flour Bluff Primary School, we place great importance on assessing our students’ progress regularly. Our assessments are thoughtfully integrated into the instructional timeline and aligned with the curriculum. They serve the dual purpose of measuring academic growth and providing teachers with invaluable feedback to enhance instruction and boost student achievement. Specifically, our reading assessments are designed to determine each student’s instructional reading level. We utilize mCLASS, Fountas & Pinnell assessments, and teacher running records to track reading progress. By the end of the school year, our first-grade students are expected to read at an instructional level H, while second-grade students should reach an instructional level L. In mathematics, we administer TEKS-based assessments every nine weeks, culminating in a comprehensive end-of-year assessment. To successfully pass the math assessment, students are required to achieve a mastery level of at least 70%.

In addition to regular assessments, report cards are issued to students at the conclusion of each nine-week period throughout the school year. The promotion criteria for grade 1 students entail demonstrating proficiency of 70% in the TEKS for mathematics, achieving the ability to read on Level H by year-end, and satisfactorily completing the TEKS requirements for language arts, social studies, and science. For grade 2 students, promotion to grade 3 is contingent upon achieving proficiency of 70% in the TEKS for mathematics, reaching the ability to read on Level L, and satisfactorily completing the TEKS requirements for language arts, social studies, and science.

Report cards will be marked for all areas according to the following criteria:
1 = Below Expectations
2 = Meets Expectations
3 = Exceeds Expectations
N/A = Not Assessed

Parents are urged to carefully examine their child’s report card and return the report card envelope promptly to school with their signature. Parents are invited to conference with their child’s teacher regarding any question they might have about the report card and academic progress.
