Summary

Hallettsville High School is a mid-sized rural high school in Hallettsville, TX, serving 406 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Hallettsville Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the top 15% of districts statewide.

This school has made a strong recent comeback, earning a 4-star rating and jumping to the 73rd percentile in the 2025-2026 school year after a dip in performance. Its standout feature is exceptional support for Gifted and Talented students, who now rank in the 96th percentile with a perfect 5-star rating—a dramatic improvement from just two years prior. The school also shows remarkable, equitable progress across nearly all student groups, with Hispanic students rising from the 41st to the 76th percentile, low socio-economic status students from the 36th to the 71st percentile, and Special Education students from the 17th to the 52nd percentile. However, a significant weakness is serving Multi-racial students, who consistently rank in the bottom 11th percentile, including a 0-star rating in 2025-2026. Additionally, only 32.27% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a lower rate than nearby peers like Weimar High School (55.14%) and Schulenburg Secondary (68.86%), but higher than Shiner High School (24.44%).

Academically, Hallettsville excels in Biology (82.35% proficient) and English I (66.67% proficient), but struggles persistently with Algebra I, where only 39.22% of students are proficient—nearly 15 points below the state average. This "Algebra I anomaly" contrasts with the district average of 58.67%, suggesting a specific challenge at the high school level. Compared to local competitors, Hallettsville is outperformed by top-tier Shiner High School (93rd percentile, 5-star) and Flatonia Secondary (91st percentile, 5-star), but clearly surpasses Schulenburg Secondary (41st percentile, 2-star). The school boasts excellent graduation rates (consistently above 94%) and a very low dropout rate (0.0% in 2023-2024), indicating a strong culture of keeping students on track, even if test scores don't always match that success.
