Summary

Sallye R Moore College & Career Preparatory is a PK-8 school in the Grand Prairie Independent School District (Isd) serving 608 students, with about 77% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and it offers a unique dual mission as both a standard elementary/middle school and a college and career preparatory program.

This school stands out for its exceptional success in preparing 8th graders for high school-level courses, far outperforming district and state averages. In 2025-2026, 76.32% of students were proficient in Algebra I (compared to 47.42% district-wide) and 93.1% were proficient in English I (compared to 45.65% district-wide). This is a major advantage over nearby schools like Thurgood Marshall Leadership Academy, which only serves PK-5 and doesn't offer these advanced courses. However, the school faces a serious challenge in middle school math, with only 3.85% of 7th graders proficient in math—a stark contrast to the state average of 29.41%. This math crisis has contributed to a dramatic drop in the school's overall state ranking, from the 74th percentile (4 stars) in 2021-2022 to the 16th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026.

Interestingly, the school shows a "tale of two populations": it excels with its Gifted and Talented students (ranking in the 61st percentile) but struggles with Special Education and low-income students (ranking in the 15th and 17th percentiles, respectively). Compared to the nearby School For The Highly Gifted—a magnet program with 100% proficiency and a 5-star rating—Sallye R Moore serves a much more challenging demographic but still achieves strong results in advanced courses. The school's future depends on translating its success in Algebra I and English I to foundational math skills for all students, especially in 6th and 7th grades.

What people are saying
by a parent
Friday, September 30, 2016

Open Quote The graphs and ratios show nothing more than dots. The facts are we have an educational system that can't keep up. That is ever changing and not necessarily for the good of the students. There are stressed teachers, students, and parents. Test, test, and more testing. To prove what? There are more children receiving free lunch because as the economy declines, prices go up. Teachers are underpaid nationally, parents are trying to stay afloat and students are overwhelmed. There can be improvements to every school in every district but I am happy to say I love Moore Elementary. There has been 3 different principals in the last 5 years but they pick up and get the ball rolling. The improvements within the district is awesome. The city of Grand Prairie is a great place to raise your children and in my opinion Moore is one the best elementary schools. Close Quote
