Summary

Moss Haven Elementary in Dallas, TX, is a high-performing PK-5 school in the Richardson Independent School District (Isd) with 467 students, known for its strong academic reputation and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.7:1.

Moss Haven stands out as an academic bright spot in its area, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide and consistently outperforming district and state averages in reading and math across all grade levels. For example, 5th-grade reading proficiency reached 82.81% compared to the district's 60.35%. This success is particularly notable when compared to nearby schools like Skyview Elementary (1st percentile) and Aikin Elementary (3rd percentile), which face significant challenges. The school also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the 96th percentile for this group. However, a closer look reveals a stark contrast: while the school thrives overall, its economically disadvantaged students rank in the 20th percentile, indicating a gap in support for this population. Additionally, African American student performance has dropped dramatically from the 44th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026, a trend that warrants attention.

Compared to White Rock Elementary, just 1.89 miles away and serving a similar demographic, Moss Haven trails slightly (84th vs. 94th percentile), suggesting room for growth. Interestingly, Moss Haven spends less per student ($10,629) than several lower-performing nearby schools like Forest Lane Academy ($11,909) and Jack Lowe Senior Elementary ($13,044), highlighting that factors like community involvement and effective instruction—not just funding—drive its success. For parents, Moss Haven offers a strong foundation with clear areas for improvement in equity and support for all students.
