Moises E Molina High School

Summary:

Moises E Molina High School is a public high school in Dallas, Texas, serving 2,074 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 557 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moises E Molina High School faces significant challenges, with a consistently low academic performance ranking in the bottom 25% of Texas high schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a very high percentage of Hispanic students (93.92%) and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (over 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch). Graduation rates have declined from 93.7% in 2018-2019 to 84.9% in 2022-2023, and dropout rates have increased from 2.2% in 2017-2018 to 3.7% in 2021-2022, higher than the district and state averages. Nearby schools, such as Sunset High School and Justin F Kimball High School, also have relatively low academic performance and high percentages of economically disadvantaged students, but Moises E Molina High School consistently ranks lower than these schools on statewide assessments and has a higher dropout rate.

While the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students perform better relative to their peers compared to other student subgroups, the performance of students in special education and gifted and talented programs is significantly lower than the state and district averages. The school's data also shows significant achievement gaps between Hispanic and White students, as well as between African American and White students, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to address these disparities. Despite increased per-student spending, from $8,769 in 2018-2019 to $10,588 in 2020-2021, the school's academic outcomes have not seen significant improvements, indicating a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and utilization.

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.
