Summary:
The city of Moody, Texas, is served by the Moody Independent School District (Isd), which educates approximately 710 students across three public schools: Moody Elementary (grades K-4), Moody Middle (grades 5-8), and Moody High School (grades 9-12).
The standout school in the district is Moody Middle, which earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 73rd percentile—a remarkable turnaround from its 2-star rating just two years prior. This success is driven by an exceptional Algebra I program, where 100% of 8th graders taking the exam were proficient, far exceeding state averages. In contrast, Moody High School is the most challenged, holding a consistent 2-star rating despite a high 98.2% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate. Its academic performance on End-of-Course exams generally falls below state averages, suggesting a focus on persistence over college readiness. Moody Elementary shows a positive trend, rebounding to a 3-star rating, but reveals a stark contrast between strong 3rd-grade scores and weaker 4th-grade performance, particularly in math.
Key metrics highlight an inverse relationship between spending and performance: Moody High School has the highest per-student spending ($14,411) and lowest student-teacher ratio (9.4:1) but the lowest academic ranking, while Moody Elementary spends the least ($11,037) yet ranks higher. Economic disadvantage is significant across the district, ranging from 54.63% at the high school to 68.66% at the elementary. The district overall ranks in the 67th percentile statewide, with Moody Middle’s rapid improvement suggesting successful recent instructional changes.
