Summary

Fred Moore High School in Denton, TX, is a small alternative high school within the Denton Independent School District (Isd), serving just 67 students in grades 9-12 and providing a second-chance pathway for students who have struggled in traditional settings. The school stands out for its extremely low student-teacher ratio of 10.1:1, which is far smaller than nearby comprehensive high schools like Guyer High School (14.5:1) and Denton High School (15:1), suggesting a strong potential for individualized attention. However, academic performance is low, with STAAR proficiency rates significantly below area averages—for example, 0% of students were proficient in English I Reading compared to 67% at Guyer and 63% at Lake Dallas High School.

Despite these challenges, Fred Moore has shown remarkable progress in its graduation rate, climbing from 62.5% in 2019-2020 to 90.5% in 2023-2024—a 28-percentage-point increase that highlights the school’s growing effectiveness in helping students earn diplomas. U.S. History is a relative strength, with 51.6% of students proficient in 2025-2026, the school’s highest subject score and closer to the district average than other subjects. Compared to other local alternative campuses, Fred Moore generally outperforms Joe Dale Sparks Campus and the Denton County J J A E P, particularly in U.S. History and Biology, making it a more effective option for students needing alternative support.

The school serves a high-needs population, with over 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, a rate much higher than at Guyer (24.4%) or Krum High School (31.2%). Spending per student is also significantly higher at $19,114, reflecting the intensive support services required. While performance with English Language Learners has been volatile, the school’s overall trajectory in graduation rates is a positive sign for families seeking a supportive environment focused on helping students overcome past struggles and achieve their diploma.
