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
... Read more 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. Read less

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
... Read more 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. Read less

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.

Look at our TAKS scores this year. They alone speak volumes!

This is a very nice public school, fairly overcrowded though, and unfortunately the Corpus Christi public school system did away with any advanced classes ('Ace') program a couple of years ago. The current principal and staff is excellent.

My son attended Mireles in the 1st and 2nd grades. The school really focuses on reading. It also rewards those students who achieve high academically. My son's teachers were great!

Overall, Mireles is an amazing school. Wonderful teachers, great principal, very active parent volunteers. The overcrowding is a problem and with new development all over the area, will probably become more so of a problem in the future. My son eats lunch at 1 pm, as they have no room in the cafeteria.
... Read more Lunches begin at 10am and end after 1 pm, in order to accomadate all the students. I can not imagine what they are going to do in years to come. Academically, this is a great school, as proven by the test scores. The teachers and principal have very high expectations for these students, and the students achieve them. I would highly recommend this school. Read less
