Summary

Mike Moses Elementary is a K-5 public school in Nacogdoches, TX, serving 503 students as part of the Nacogdoches Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.

The school is currently facing significant academic challenges, with a steep decline in performance over recent years. After earning a 1-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year, it has dropped to a 0-star rating and ranks in the 1st percentile statewide for 2024-2025 and 2025-2026. STAAR test scores are consistently low across all subjects and grade levels—for example, only 13.25% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading, compared to the state average of 51.08%. This pattern of underperformance is broad, affecting every student group, and is especially concerning in 5th Grade Science, where proficiency fell from 21% in 2022-2023 to just 2.53% in 2024-2025. However, a brief "bright spot" in 2022-2023, when 5th graders achieved 54% proficiency in Reading and 37% in Math, suggests the school has the potential to improve.

Comparing Mike Moses to nearby schools highlights the severity of its struggles. Just 1.47 miles away, Stephen F Austin State University Charter School ranks in the 99th percentile, with 88.37% of 5th graders proficient in Reading versus Mike Moses' 26.51%. Even within the same district, Thomas J Rusk Elementary (1.37 miles away) ranks in the 44th percentile and significantly outperforms Mike Moses, particularly in 5th Grade Reading (68.25% vs. 26.51%). While poverty is a major factor, Raguet Elementary (1.58 miles away) has a lower poverty rate of 67.24% and ranks in the 30th percentile, suggesting that school-level factors like leadership and instruction also play a critical role in these outcomes.
