The school is well cared for and most of the teachers and staff are friendly. However, I feel that this school really misses the mark when it comes down to the individual child. The goal of any school should be 'what is best for the child' and not what is most convenient. I know firsthand how ineffective the discipline chart is for kindergarteners at this school. Nearby schools that use the same type of discipline chart actually allow children to 'flip' their cards back if their day improves. The administrators at Mireles are blinded by their egos and refuse to see what is best for their students. I would not recommend this school to any parent wants to continue to inspire their child to be an independent thinker.
This is a very active school. The administration, teachers and parents are very involved! The rules are sometimes too strict and inconvenient for more flexible parents. They do try to maintain a high test and attendance average that is both a pro and a con. I sometimes wish they would be more concerned about the individual needs of the student body instead of over-focusing on school averages. However, all and all, it is a good school. I was reading about the over-crowding, and that has been taken care of last year (2007) when they opened Faye Webb, a new school...it is back to a healthy student/teacher ratio.
This school is only concerned with test scores. It is also known to be harsh with the kids and has poor communication with the parents. We are a military family and would not recommend this school.
Mireles Elementary is truly the best elementary school in Corpus Christi. The fine leadership of the principal, compassion and devotion of the teachers and outstanding parental involvement are a few aspects that make Mireles a great place to be. Look at our TAKS scores this year. They alone speak volumes!
