Summary

Hallsville J H is a 7th and 8th-grade middle school in Hallsville, TX, serving 768 students as part of the Hallsville Independent School District (Isd), and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years, placing it in the 81st percentile statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with near-perfect Algebra I STAAR scores (96-100% over the last three years) that far exceed the state average and rival top performers like Spring Hill J H. It also achieves strong results across all core subjects, consistently outperforming the state in Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies. What makes this even more impressive is that Hallsville J H does so with relatively low per-student spending ($7,197), compared to schools like Pine Tree J H ($10,518) or Judson Steam Academy ($14,144), suggesting a highly efficient use of resources. The school also maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate, consistently near 0.0%, which points to a positive and supportive school climate.

While the school excels overall, it faces challenges in supporting all student groups equally. Its Gifted and Talented program is a standout, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide, but there has been a recent dip in performance for several subgroups, including male, Hispanic, and low socio-economic status students. Additionally, the school's performance for its African American students has dropped significantly, from the 66th to the 32nd percentile over the past two years. Compared to the smaller Harleton J H, which sometimes achieves higher raw scores in Reading, Hallsville J H offers more consistent, broad-based success across a larger student body. Its ability to maintain its strong overall ranking while addressing these internal gaps will be key to its continued success.
