Summary

Hall Personalized Learning Academy At Oak Cliff is a PK-5 elementary school in the Dallas Independent School District (Isd), serving 443 students in a high-poverty area of Dallas, TX, where over 95% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced significant performance swings over the past decade, peaking at the 72nd percentile statewide in 2022-2023 before dropping to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This volatility is more pronounced than at nearby schools like Jimmie Tyler Brashear Elementary, which has steadily climbed to the 62nd percentile, or L O Donald Elementary, which jumped from the 33rd to the 69th percentile in the same period.

A standout strength is Hall’s exceptional performance in Spanish-language reading, where 4th and 5th graders scored 68% proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding district and state averages. However, the school shows a stark gender gap: male students rank in the 58th percentile (3 stars), while female students rank in the 24th percentile (1 star)—the largest such gap among nearby schools. Additionally, Gifted and Talented students rank in the 3rd percentile (0 stars), suggesting the personalized learning model may not adequately challenge high-achieving students. Science performance is a systemic issue across the Oak Cliff area, with Hall’s 5th-grade proficiency dropping to just 1.52% in 2023-2024 before recovering to 25% in 2024-2025, still below the state average.

Despite spending $13,033 per student—among the highest in the area, compared to $11,285 at Jimmie Tyler Brashear Elementary and $11,409 at Anson Jones Elementary—Hall’s outcomes are inconsistent. The personalized learning model works well for male and low-income students (66th percentile) but struggles for female and gifted students. Nearby Golden Rule Charter School shows similar instability, ranking in the 36th percentile overall but with strong early-grade reading, while the smaller Golden Rule campus dropped from the 63rd to the 23rd percentile in two years, mirroring Hall’s boom-and-bust pattern.
