Summary

Nancy Moseley Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 663 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Dallas Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 493 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased per-student spending over the years, Nancy Moseley Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Dallas ISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics were significantly lower than the district and state averages, with gaps ranging from 9 to 19 percentage points. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also generally lower than the district and state averages. This challenge is not unique to Nancy Moseley Elementary, as nearby schools like B.H. Macon Elementary and Julius Dorsey Leadership Academy also struggle with low academic performance.

One potential factor contributing to Nancy Moseley Elementary's low academic performance is the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with over 95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 15.2 students per teacher in recent years, may be a barrier to providing the individualized attention and support that many of the students need. However, the school has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, who have outperformed their peers in the district and state on certain STAAR assessments, suggesting that there may be opportunities to leverage effective practices and strategies to improve overall academic outcomes.
