Moore Elementary

Summary:

Moore Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 995 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (CFISD).

While Moore Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 28.94% White, 25.93% African American, 30.15% Hispanic, 9.75% Asian, and 5.13% two or more races, its academic performance as measured by STAAR test scores is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading ranged from 40.91% in 3rd grade to 51.46% in 5th grade, compared to the district's 57.62% to 57.1% and the state's 48.85% to 53.96%. Similarly, in STAAR Mathematics, Moore Elementary's proficiency rates ranged from 27.56% in 3rd grade to 42.94% in 5th grade, compared to the district's 41.29% to 50.17% and the state's 40.86% to 48.96%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with a ranking for Asian students of 569 out of 1,015 Texas elementary schools, while the ranking for African American students was 1,637 out of 2,443 schools.

The challenges faced by Moore Elementary are further highlighted by its declining performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 942 out of 4,578 Texas elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,523 out of 4,675 in 2023-2024, and a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 4 stars to 2 stars. When compared to nearby schools within the same district, such as Hamilton Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 5% of Texas elementary schools, Moore Elementary performs significantly worse academically. The increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Moore Elementary, from 46.97% in 2020-2021 to 62.01% in 2022-2023, may also be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
