Summary

Hall District Elementary is a K–6 school in Watsonville, California, with 470 students and is part of Pajaro Valley Unified. In 2025–2026, 15% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 8% in math and 3% in science—well below both state and district rates in every subject. The clearest local concern is science: Hall scored 3%, the lowest among it and six nearby district elementary schools, whose average was 8%.

Hall compares more favorably with nearby schools in ELA and math than in science: it exceeded four of six comparable schools in ELA, three in math and none in science. Its ELA rate of 15% was above the local average of 13%, while its 8% math rate was close to the local average of 8%. Still, the state and district comparison is stark: Hall was 35 percentage points below the state and 13 below the district in ELA; 31 and 11 points below in math; and 33 and 16 points below in science. Results vary by grade: fourth-grade ELA was 21%, ahead of five of the six nearby peers, while fifth-grade math was 2%, the lowest among the comparable schools.

Over the four years reported, ELA rose 2 percentage points and math rose 1, but science fell 12; Hall’s gap to the state widened in all three subjects, most sharply in science. Attendance has improved: chronic absenteeism fell from 41% in 2021–2022 to 16% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 21% and state’s 18%. SchoolDigger ranks Hall 5,733rd of 5,804 statewide, at the 1st percentile with 0 stars; among six nearby district elementary peers, its rank is around the middle. The student–teacher ratio was 21.7 in 2024–2025, near the middle of the local range. Also in 2024–2025, 94% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, a contextual measure rather than an explanation for results.
