Moore Middle

Summary:

Moore Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Tyler, Texas, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 1,113 students. The school is part of the Tyler Independent School District, which is ranked 501 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Moore Middle's overall academic performance on STAAR tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra I, with 100% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the Tyler ISD (48.08%) and state (44.73%) averages. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and Asian students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 4 stars to its current 3-star rating.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, such as Whitehouse J.H. and J.W. Holloway Sixth Grade School, which have higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, Moore Middle generally performs below the top-performing schools. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, at 86.61%, also presents a challenge in supporting a population that often faces additional barriers to academic success.

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.
