Summary:
The schools in zip code 77975 are part of the small, tight-knit Moulton Independent School District (Isd), which serves 293 students across two schools: Moulton Elementary (Pre-K through 6th grade) and Moulton High School (7th through 12th grade). The district holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the top 26% of Texas school districts, offering a rural educational environment with very favorable student-teacher ratios of 11:1 at the elementary and an exceptionally low 7.9:1 at the high school.
Moulton High School is the standout school in the area, ranking in the 72nd percentile of Texas high schools with a 4-star rating. It boasts a 95.5% graduation rate and a perfect 0.0% dropout rate, with particular strength in Mathematics and Social Studies—for example, 84.62% of 8th graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 47.24%. In contrast, Moulton Elementary has a 2-star rating and ranks in the 47th percentile, showing a clear performance gap between the two schools. The elementary school excels in upper elementary Reading, with 88.24% of 5th graders proficient, but struggles significantly in lower-grade Mathematics, where only 26.09% of 3rd graders met proficiency standards.
A key takeaway is the dramatic performance spike in 5th grade at the elementary school, suggesting an exceptional teacher or targeted intervention program. However, Science is a district-wide weakness, with only 20.83% of 5th graders and 28.57% of 8th graders proficient. The high school’s math program is a standout strength, likely contributing to its strong ranking and college readiness. Year-over-year test score volatility is common due to the small class sizes, making it important to consider multi-year trends rather than single-year data points when evaluating these schools.
