Intermediate school earns award from comptroller
Staff Reports

A Lindale ISD campus has been recognized by the state for having significant academic growth with relatively low spending.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs named E.J. Moss Intermediate School as a 2012 Texas Honors Circle Campus, according to a Lindale ISD news release.
The award is based in part on a school or district's FAST (Financial Allocation Study for Texas) rating.

The rating is from one to five stars, and an elementary school must have a five-star rating to receive the Texas Honors Circle designation, according to the news release.
E.J. Moss serves fourth- through sixth-graders.

E.J. Moss Intermediate School Principal Lori Anderson said the school's staff works diligently to provide a top-notch education with minimal spending, according to the news release.

“I am very proud of the manner in which our teachers continue to rise above the challenges and make no compromises in providing challenging, innovative opportunities for all students to reach their highest potential,” she said, according to the news release.

The campus has received several other honors in recent years.

For three consecutive years, E.J. Moss has been named a Title 1, Distinguished Performance School by the No Child Left Behind Division of the Texas Education Agency, according to the news release.

In 2011, E.J. Moss was named a Texas Business and Education Coalition Honor Roll School.
