Summary

Moss Haven Elementary is a public elementary school in Dallas, Texas, serving 488 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Richardson Independent School District (ISD). This school consistently outperforms the Richardson ISD and the state of Texas in academic achievement, with strong STAAR test scores across grade levels and subjects. For example, Moss Haven's 3rd grade reading proficiency was 69.62% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 54.96% for Richardson ISD and 52.02% for Texas.

Moss Haven Elementary has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years, indicating it is one of the top-performing elementary schools in Texas. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.0 to 12.4 over the past few years, which is lower than nearby schools in the Richardson ISD. However, while Moss Haven excels overall, there are significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with the school struggling to support African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, Merriman Park Elementary, which is just 1.11 miles away, also ranks highly and has strong academic performance, particularly in reading. Additionally, Moss Haven Elementary has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to nearby schools, such as Northlake Elementary, Forest Lane Academy, and Thurgood Marshall Elementary, which have much higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.
