The grade combines indicators scored from 1 to 5: student achievement, academic growth, growth of the highest-need students and, for high schools, college and career readiness.
Moore Magnet Elementary earned a B for 2024-25, the latest grades published, with an overall score of 3.6 out of 5 in the state’s letter grade file.

| Overall success rate, all students, 2024-25 tests | 46.7% |

Attendance zone and feeder schools
Check any address with the district’s bus and zoning lookup, or open the 2026-27 elementary zone map (PDF) and middle and high school zone map (PDF). Students attend their zoned school; a transfer needs a Special Request for Transfer approved by Student Services or an Open Enrollment application, and transfer students do not get bus service, according to the bus and zoning page.
In the elementary rezoning plan the school board approved in January 2024 (the feeder diagram in the final rezoning presentation (PDF)), Moore Magnet Elementary’s zone splits between more than one middle school zone, so the next school depends on the address: Richview Middle (then Clarksville High) or Rossview Middle (then Rossview High).
