H R Moye El, El Paso TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on H R Moye El

H R Moye Elementary is a small school in far east El Paso serving early grades from pre-K through fifth grade. The school sits in a densely Hispanic neighborhood in the 79904 zip code, where almost all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and the vast majority of families are Hispanic. The neighborhood reflects El Paso's suburban expansion pattern, with newer residential development spreading along the eastern edges of the metro area.

The school's academic results show substantial challenges. In recent state testing, the school's overall proficiency across tested subjects is in the bottom quartile compared to other districts in El Paso County. In math, third-graders on the Spanish assessment showed very low performance; fourth-graders achieved modest proficiency; fifth-graders were lower still. In English language arts, results range from low in third and fourth grade to somewhat stronger at fifth grade. In science at fifth grade, the school reported no proficient students on the state test, which is a significant gap a parent may want to look into further with the school to understand what support systems are in place. The tests appear to be administered both in Spanish and English across the grades, reflecting the bilingual context of the community.

The school does serve a population with very substantial economic need, and the district as a whole is in the midst of significant structural change. El Paso ISD has voted to close eight elementary schools through 2027 as part of a redesign effort tied to declining enrollment and budget constraints. While H R Moye is not listed among the closures announced so far, families here should be aware of the district's fiscal pressures and consolidation plans, as they may shape school operations or assignments in the coming years. On a positive note, the district is expanding specialized programs including Montessori, STEM academies, and Extended Day Learning Centers at select campuses, so program growth is underway alongside the closures.

The broader El Paso context is a binational city shaped by cross-border flows and family-oriented suburban neighborhoods. The far east side where Moye sits is characterized by newer, quieter residential development. Housing values in the area are affordable relative to state and national benchmarks. The region is served by extensive parks and trails, public libraries, and Sun Metro transit, though the area is largely car-dependent.

State testing data was the primary measure available for this school. Data on chronic absenteeism, graduation rates, and detailed discipline or attendance information were not provided. Special education enrollment, English learner enrollment, and staffing data were also not available. These gaps prevent a fuller picture of school operations and student support systems; a parent considering this school may want to request that information directly from the school or district office.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
