Summary

W T Moore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tallahassee, Florida, serving 546 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Leon District, which is ranked 47 out of 67 districts in the state.

The school demonstrates academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where its 3rd grade proficiency rates in 2024-2025 (64% in ELA, 69% in Math) exceeded the Leon District (57% in both subjects) and Florida state (57% in both subjects) averages. However, the school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 53% in 2024-2025 was slightly lower than the state average of 55%. One area of concern is the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.2% to 36.8% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning.

When compared to nearby schools, W T Moore Elementary generally outperforms Frank Hartsfield Elementary and J Michael Conley Elementary School at Southwood in academic proficiency, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Roberts Elementary, Gilchrist Elementary, and Buck Lake Elementary. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently standing at 954 out of 2,258 Florida elementary schools (3-star rating) in 2024-2025, suggesting a need for continued improvement efforts.
