Summary

Moulton Elementary is a small, rural PK-6 school in Moulton, TX, serving 170 students within the Moulton Independent School District (Isd).

Moulton Elementary has historically been a solid performer, but recent data shows a significant and sudden decline. The school’s overall state ranking dropped from a stable 3-star level to a 2-star level in the 2025-2026 school year. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Flatonia Elementary (5 stars) and Shiner Elementary (4 stars), which have maintained high rankings. The decline is driven by poor performance in the primary grades, where 3rd-grade Reading (30.43%) and Math (26.09%) are well below state averages. However, the school shows a bright spot in its 5th grade, which achieved an exceptional 88.24% proficiency in Reading—30 points above the state average and the highest among comparable area schools. This creates a "V-shaped" performance curve, where the school excels in upper elementary but struggles in foundational grades.

The school operates with a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, yet this advantage is not translating into strong test scores in the lower grades. In comparison, Shiner Elementary (14.6:1) and Flatonia Elementary (15:1) have larger class sizes but achieve significantly better results across all grades. This suggests Moulton’s challenges are likely related to curriculum, instruction quality, or student preparedness rather than class size. The school’s ability to support its low-income students has also dropped from a strong 4-star rating to a 2-star rating. Moulton Elementary is at a critical juncture, needing to investigate the root causes of its primary-grade struggles to reverse the current downward trend.
