Summary

Moody High School is a small, rural school in Moody, TX, serving 216 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Moody Independent School District (Isd). This school stands out for its exceptional programs for specific groups of students, particularly its Gifted and Talented program, which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide—a remarkable achievement. However, overall academic performance has been stuck at a 2-star rating for nine years, creating a clear contrast between its targeted successes and general results.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its ability to keep students on track: it boasts a near-perfect graduation rate of 98.2% and a 0% dropout rate for the past five years. Yet, this doesn't translate into high test scores—only about 47% of students are proficient in English II Reading, and 53% in U.S. History, both below state averages. Interestingly, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1 and spends $14,411 per student, significantly more than nearby Belton High School ($10,561 per student). This suggests the resources are there, but they may not be reaching all students effectively.

When compared to nearby schools, Moody's performance is a mixed bag. Lorena High (11 miles away) is a top performer (87th percentile) with a lower poverty rate, while Bruceville-Eddy High School (7 miles away) has a similar size and poverty rate but has shown recent improvement, jumping from the 30th to the 56th percentile. McGregor High School (10 miles away) also outperforms Moody with a 71st percentile ranking. These comparisons show that improvement is possible for schools with similar demographics, but Moody has yet to find the formula to break out of its long-standing plateau.
