Summary

Moises E Molina High School is a public high school in Dallas, Texas, serving 2,017 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Dallas Independent School District, which is ranked 493 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moises E Molina High School consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on STAAR End-of-Course exams, with proficiency rates significantly lower in subjects like Algebra I, English I Reading, and U.S. History. The school's four-year graduation rate is around 80-85%, slightly lower than the district average, and its dropout rate is between 3.5-4.0%, higher than the district and state. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with low rankings for African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as Gifted and Talented students.

When comparing Moises E Molina High School to nearby schools within the same district, such as Sunset High School and Justin F Kimball High School, the academic performance gap is quite significant. These challenges likely stem from the high percentage of students from low-income families at Moises E Molina High School, as well as the need for a comprehensive school improvement plan to address the specific academic and social-emotional needs of the student population.
