Summary

Moreno Elementary is a public elementary school in Houston, Texas, serving 692 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Houston Independent School District, which is ranked 505 out of 961 districts in the state.

Moreno Elementary has shown mixed performance on STAAR assessments compared to the district and state averages. While the school performs better than the district and state in 5th-grade reading and mathematics, it lags behind in 3rd-grade reading and mathematics. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1212 to 2662 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools. However, Moreno Elementary performs particularly well in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, often ranking in the top quartile or top half of Texas elementary schools for these subgroups.

One key differentiating factor for Moreno Elementary is its extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very low-income student population. This is higher than the rates at nearby schools, such as Osborne Elementary and Yes Prep Airline Elementary, which appear to outperform Moreno Elementary on STAAR assessments, particularly in reading. Despite the challenges of serving a high-poverty student population, Moreno Elementary's strengths in supporting certain student subgroups suggest the school is effectively addressing the needs of its diverse learners.
