Summary

Moody High School in Corpus Christi, TX, is a large, traditional high school serving 1,326 students in grades 9-12 within the Corpus Christi Independent School District (Isd), where over 87% of students come from low-income households.

Moody High School presents a unique story of two different schools under one roof. While its overall academic performance on state assessments lags behind district and state averages, the school is a standout performer for its most vulnerable student groups. For example, Moody ranks in the 80th percentile statewide for serving its special education students and shows strong, improving results for English Language Learners. It is also a notable "bright spot" for its African American students, who perform significantly better here than at many nearby schools. This targeted success is a key differentiator from schools like Carroll High School, which has a lower poverty rate but doesn't show the same level of subgroup achievement. However, the school faces challenges, including a recent decline in its graduation rate and a dropout rate that is higher than the district average and nearby schools like Ray High School.

It is important to note that the district's highest-achieving students often attend magnet schools like Collegiate High School or Harold T Branch Academy For Career & Technical Educational, which can suppress the overall metrics at traditional zoned schools like Moody. Despite this, Moody has shown a positive trajectory, improving its state ranking for three consecutive years. For context, West Oso High School, located just 2.3 miles away in the West Oso Independent School District (Isd), serves an even higher-poverty population but outperforms Moody in most academic subjects, suggesting that Moody's challenges are not solely tied to poverty and that there are strategies to explore for continued improvement.
