Moody Middle

Summary:

Moody Middle is a public middle school in Moody, Texas, serving grades 5-8 with a student population of 194. It is part of the Moody Independent School District, which is ranked 523 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moody Middle faces several challenges, including lower test scores, a declining statewide ranking, a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and underperformance compared to many of the surrounding schools. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.09% of 6th graders were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to the state average of 37.1%. The school's racial makeup also differs from the surrounding area, with a higher percentage of White students (54.12%) compared to the more diverse student populations in nearby schools. Moody Middle's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 691 out of 2,043 Texas middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,434 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars during this period.

When compared to nearby schools, Moody Middle generally underperforms. For instance, Midway Middle, which is part of the Midway Independent School District, has significantly higher test scores, a higher statewide ranking (166 out of 2,361 in 2023-2024), and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Moody Middle's 2-star rating. Midway Middle also has a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (28.89%) compared to Moody Middle (63.92%). Another interesting comparison is between Moody Middle and Isbill J.H., which is part of the McGregor Independent School District. While Isbill J.H. has a lower statewide ranking than Moody Middle, its test scores are generally higher, particularly in mathematics and reading.

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.
