Christene C Moss Elementary

Summary:

Christene C Moss Elementary is a public elementary school in Fort Worth, Texas, serving 291 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Fort Worth Independent School District, which is ranked 783 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Christene C Moss Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American (45.02%) and Hispanic (50.17%) students compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have a more even distribution of racial groups. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 3,500-4,600 out of around 4,600 schools. Its performance on STAAR tests is also significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Christene C Moss Elementary ($13,997 in 2020-2021) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $9,534 to $19,843 per student, the school's academic performance remains well below the district and state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to address the underlying issues at the school. Nearby schools, such as Maude I Logan Elementary and Rocketship Dennis Dunkins Elementary, while also serving economically disadvantaged populations, generally outperform Christene C Moss Elementary on academic measures, indicating that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.

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.
