Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 76557, serving the Moody Independent School District (Isd), provide education for approximately 710 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in the small, close-knit community of Moody, Texas, where the district holds a solid 3-star rating and ranks in the 67th percentile statewide.
Moody Middle is the clear standout, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 73rd percentile—a dramatic 34-point leap from two years prior. It is the district's academic engine, achieving 100% proficiency on the Algebra I EOC exam for 8th graders and outperforming state averages in both 8th Grade Reading (71.15%) and Math (66.67%). In contrast, Moody Elementary shows strong improvement, moving to the 69th percentile with a 3-star rating, but faces the highest economic disadvantage rate (68.66%) and a notable drop in 4th Grade Math (36%, 13 points below the state average). Moody High School is the weakest link, consistently ranking in the 35th-38th percentile with a 2-star rating, yet paradoxically boasts a 98.2% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, supported by the district's most favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1.
Key takeaways include the middle school's transformative math pipeline, which sets students up for high school success, and the high school's supportive culture that prioritizes persistence over test scores. The district spends significantly more per student at the high school ($14,411) compared to the elementary ($11,037) and middle school ($11,559), and economic disadvantage decreases as students age, from 68.66% at the elementary level to 54.63% at the high school. Overall, Moody Middle is the district's engine of growth, while the high school excels at keeping students on track to graduate despite lower academic proficiency.
