A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families.

With about 7 teachers, FRED MOORE H S has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Fred Moore High School, located at 815 Cross Timbers St. in Denton, Texas, is an alternative educational institution within the Denton Independent School District. The school is specifically designed to serve students who may benefit from a non-traditional learning environment, offering a flexible academic setting that supports those who have fallen behind in credits or require a different approach to succeed in earning their high school diploma.

The campus is historically significant, named in honor of Fred Moore, a prominent educator and community leader who played a pivotal role in the development of Black education in Denton during the era of segregation. Today, the school maintains a smaller, focused community atmosphere where faculty provide personalized attention and interventions to help students overcome barriers to graduation.
