Summary

Hallettsville Elementary is a public school in the small, rural community of Hallettsville, Texas, serving 465 students in grades PK through 4 as part of the Hallettsville Independent School District (Isd).

This school stands out for its remarkable ability to help students from all backgrounds succeed, especially those from low-income families, where it has earned a top 5-star rating for three years running. Academically, Hallettsville Elementary shines brightest in math, with 3rd and 4th graders consistently scoring 15 to 25 percentage points higher than the state average—a clear sign that the school has found effective ways to build strong math skills. The school has also shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 53rd percentile to the 84th percentile statewide, which tells you that the positive changes here are lasting, not just a one-year fluke. All of this is achieved with spending of about $10,020 per student, which is less than some nearby schools that don't perform as well, suggesting the school uses its resources wisely.

When you compare Hallettsville to other schools in the area, you get a clearer picture of its strengths. For instance, Shiner Elementary, just 15 miles away, is a high-performing school that achieves even higher test scores with slightly less spending per student. On the other hand, Schulenburg Elementary, about 16 miles away, struggles significantly, ranking in the 12th percentile. Perhaps most intriguing is Flatonia Elementary, 19 miles away, which is a top-tier school (94th percentile) with exceptional reading and math scores, even though it serves a higher percentage of low-income students than Hallettsville. This suggests that while Hallettsville is doing excellent work, there may still be valuable lessons to learn from a school like Flatonia that achieves even higher overall results under similar circumstances.
