Summary

Moore Elementary is a PK-4 school in the Pasadena Independent School District (Isd) serving 356 students in Houston, TX, and has shown remarkable, consistent improvement over the past five years, climbing from a 2-star rating to a solid 4-star rating (72nd percentile statewide). This upward trend is especially impressive given that over 67% of its students come from low-income backgrounds, yet the school has achieved standout results for specific groups, including ranking in the 99th percentile for its African American students and the 89th percentile for low socio-economic status students in recent years.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its highly effective bilingual program, with 75% of 3rd graders scoring proficient on the Spanish Reading STAAR—far exceeding the district and state averages. Additionally, Moore boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, the smallest among nearby schools like Atkinson Elementary (11.6:1) and Barbara Cockrell Elementary (15.5:1), which supports more personalized attention. While the school excels in Spanish-language assessments, its English math scores (42.86% proficient) lag slightly behind the state average, suggesting an area for continued focus.

Compared to other schools in the area, Moore is a top performer within Pasadena ISD, consistently outperforming district peers like Stuchbery Elementary (59th percentile) and Meador Elementary (40th percentile). Its closest competitor, South Belt Elementary (83rd percentile), serves a much lower percentage of low-income students, making Moore's achievements even more notable. Even when compared to the high-performing Arlyne & Alan Weber Elementary in the Clear Creek Independent School District (Isd), Moore holds its own, demonstrating that it is effectively using its resources to deliver strong academic outcomes for all students.
