Moody High School

Summary:

Moody High School is a public high school serving 220 students in grades 9-12 in Moody, Texas, which is part of the Belton Independent School District. The school has several notable strengths, including consistently high graduation rates and low dropout rates, but also faces some challenges in academic performance compared to nearby high schools.

One of Moody High School's key strengths is its high graduation rates, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 and 2020-2021 school years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.9% over the past few years. However, the school's performance on STAAR EOC exams is mixed, with strong results in some subjects like U.S. History but lagging behind in others like Algebra I and English I/II Reading. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (57.73%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to some nearby schools.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Midway High School, Belton High School, and Lake Belton High School, Moody High School generally performs worse on standardized tests and has lower overall rankings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that Moody High School may need to examine the practices and strategies of its higher-performing counterparts to identify areas for improvement. Despite these challenges, Moody High School's access to adequate resources, as evidenced by its relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, indicates that the school has the potential to enhance student learning and achievement with the right strategies and interventions.

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.
