Summary

Moore Elementary in Houston, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 873 students in grades PK-5 within the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District (Isd), and it has experienced a significant decline from its former high-performing status since the 2020-2021 school year. Once a top-tier school consistently earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the 76th-79th percentile, Moore has dropped to a 2-star rating and the 35th percentile in the most recent data, a stark contrast to nearby schools like Hamilton Elementary (a 5-star, top 5% school just 1.24 miles away) and Black Elementary, which remain consistently high-performing. The school's decline is most pronounced in mathematics, where proficiency rates are alarmingly low—for example, only 19.55% of 3rd graders and 33.09% of 5th graders met grade-level standards in 2025-2026, compared to district averages of 43.68% and 49.92%, respectively.

Despite these challenges, there are pockets of strength that offer hope. In 5th grade reading, Moore's proficiency rate of 63.83% actually exceeded the state average of 58.47%, and the school performs relatively well for its English Language Learner students (63rd percentile, 3 stars). Historically, Moore also showed a strong capacity for serving at-risk students, ranking in the 93rd percentile in 2020-2021, though this strength has since diminished. The school's per-student spending ($8,924) and student-teacher ratio (15.3) are comparable to higher-performing peers like Millsap Elementary and Adam Elementary, suggesting that resource allocation and instructional effectiveness—particularly in math—are the key areas needing improvement.

The contrast with nearby Hamilton Elementary highlights the socioeconomic challenges Moore faces, as Hamilton has a free/reduced lunch rate of just 25.23% compared to Moore's 62.54%. However, Moore's past success and current bright spots in reading and ELL instruction provide a foundation for a potential turnaround, with a laser focus on improving math outcomes across all grade levels. For parents, this means Moore offers a caring environment with some strong programs, but the school is in urgent need of targeted support to reverse its downward trend and restore its former excellence.
