Summary

Jerry & Linda Moore Middle in Celina, TX, serves 1,219 students in grades 6-8 within the highly-rated Celina Independent School District (Isd), a fast-growing area where only 16.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the school maintains a perfect zero percent dropout rate.

This school has a standout strength: its advanced math program. An exceptional 89.78% of students taking the Algebra I End-of-Course exam were proficient, dramatically outperforming the state average (54%) and even surpassing nearby schools in the elite Prosper Independent School District (Isd) and Frisco Independent School District (Isd), such as Lorene Rogers Middle and Reynolds Middle. However, this creates a "tale of two math programs," as standard grade-level math proficiency is lower—for example, only 34% of 7th graders were proficient, compared to 73% at Wilkinson Middle in Frisco ISD. The school also excels with English Language Learners, ranking in the 88th percentile, and has a strong historical track record, though it has seen a slight decline from its peak 5-star status in the late 2010s.

While a solid 4-star school ranking in the 84th percentile, Jerry & Linda Moore Middle operates in the shadow of neighboring districts that consistently rank in the 96th percentile. A clear area for improvement is 8th-grade Social Studies, where only 34% of students were proficient—barely above the state average and far below the 55-67% rates at nearby Prosper and Frisco schools. The school also shows mixed equity in performance, with its largest student groups (White and Hispanic) scoring below the school's overall average, and its lowest-performing group being students from low socio-economic backgrounds. To return to its former 5-star status, the school should focus on strengthening standard math instruction, addressing the Social Studies weakness, and ensuring success for all student groups.
