Summary:
The Hallsville R-IV school district in Missouri is home to two strong-performing elementary schools: Hallsville Primary and Hallsville Intermediate. The district itself is ranked 79 out of 367 districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Both Hallsville Primary and Hallsville Intermediate have consistent academic performance, with Hallsville Intermediate's MAP test scores generally on par with or slightly above state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts across grades 3-5. Hallsville Intermediate's statewide ranking has also improved from 381 out of 898 schools in 2022-2023 to 354 out of 900 schools in 2024-2025. However, there may be an opportunity to focus on improving mathematics proficiency at Hallsville Intermediate, as the school's scores in this subject area are slightly below the state average in some grade levels.
While the two schools share many similarities, there are some notable differences. Hallsville Primary has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.99%) compared to Hallsville Intermediate (29.8%), and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 15.2 compared to 13.9 at Hallsville Intermediate. Additionally, Hallsville Primary spends more per student ($9,118) than Hallsville Intermediate ($8,676), which may be due to the school serving younger grades (PK-2) and potentially requiring more resources for early childhood education.
