Summary

Nancy Moseley Elementary is a PK-5 school in Dallas, TX, serving 610 students in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), where over 96% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has experienced significant performance swings in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating before recovering to a 2-star rating in the most recent data. This volatility sets it apart from nearby schools like Gilbert Cuellar Senior Elementary, which has shown steady improvement to an 80th percentile ranking despite serving an even more disadvantaged population. While Nancy Moseley struggles with consistency, it notably outperforms the nearby A+ Academy Elementary charter school in most subjects, suggesting it provides a stronger educational option for families on the same street.

One of the school's most interesting strengths is its effectiveness with Spanish-speaking students. In the 2024-2025 school year, students taking the STAAR Spanish version of the 5th Grade Reading test scored 42.86% proficient, significantly outperforming the state average of 32.91%. Similarly, in 4th Grade Math (Spanish), the school's 40% proficiency rate nearly doubled the district's 20.86% rate. This indicates that for its Spanish-speaking English Language Learner population, Nancy Moseley is providing instruction that allows students to excel beyond their peers across Texas. The school also has a strong track record with "At Risk" students, earning 4-star ratings in recent years, though this success hasn't consistently translated to its broader low-income population.

However, the school faces significant challenges with consistency for specific student groups. Performance for Special Education students has been particularly erratic, dropping from a 4-star rating to a 0-star rating in the most recent year. The school also shows dramatic year-over-year swings in performance between male and female students, with the stronger-performing gender flipping from one year to the next. Nearby B H Macon Elementary and Richard Lagow Elementary show more stable performance patterns, suggesting that Nancy Moseley's academic programming may need more sustainable approaches to ensure all students receive consistent support.
