Summary:
Hall HSD 502 has one high school, Hall High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 388 students. With no other high school in the list, there is no local school-to-school comparison. The clearest concern is that the school’s average gap from state results widened: across the same nine subject-and-grade results, it went from 4 points below the state in 2024–2025 to 10 points below in 2025–2026, a 7-point widening.
The strongest result relative to the state was grade 10 PreACT science: 60% met the standard, compared with 48% statewide, or 12 points higher. The largest shortfall was grade 9 PreACT math, at 21% compared with 42% statewide, or 21 points lower. Grade 10 was the clearest bright spot overall: its ELA result was nearly even with the state, and science was above it. In contrast, grade 9 ELA and science were 15 and 16 points below the state, while grade 11 ACT ELA and science were 17 and 15 points below. Science had the smallest average gap across the three grades—6 points below the state—but that average masks the large grade-to-grade differences.
Results improved in all three grade 10 subjects from the prior year: ELA rose 12 points, math 6, and science 13, with the gaps to the state also narrowing. Other results fell, especially grade 9 science, down 27 points, and grade 11 ACT science, down 20. SchoolDigger lists Hall High School at 427 of 620 schools, the 31st percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, compared with the 59th percentile in 2024–2025. Other indicators are mixed: graduation was 80%, versus 90% statewide; chronic absenteeism was 19%, versus 24%; and dropout was 3%, versus 2%. The school had an 11.4 student–teacher ratio and 57% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results.
