Summary

Moody High School is a public high school in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving 1,316 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Corpus Christi Independent School District, which is ranked 502 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moody High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 8 years. The school performs relatively better for African American students, ranking in the top half of Texas high schools for this subgroup. However, it struggles with the performance of Hispanic, White, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom quarter of Texas high schools for these groups. Moody High School's 4-year graduation rate is around 90%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is slightly higher than the state average.

Moody High School's academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC proficiency rates, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, with the largest gaps in Algebra I, Biology, and English I Reading. The school performs relatively better in U.S. History, with proficiency rates closer to the district and state averages. Moody High School's student population has a very high percentage (over 80%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's performance is similar to other high schools in the Corpus Christi ISD, the district also includes higher-performing schools like Collegiate High School and Harold T. Branch Academy, which outperform Moody High School across multiple metrics.
