Hallsville North Elementary

Hallsville North Elementary is a PK-4 school in Hallsville, TX, serving 592 students within the Hallsville Independent School District (Isd), a district rated as average-performing statewide.

This school stands out for its efficient use of resources, achieving above-average academic results despite spending significantly less per student than many nearby schools in the Longview Independent School District (Isd). With a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11.3:1, students often receive more individualized attention. A key strength is the school's exceptional and rapidly improving support for its Special Education students, who recently ranked in the 63rd percentile—a dramatic turnaround from previous years. However, the school shows a notable performance gap between male and female students, with boys currently outperforming girls, a dynamic that has reversed in recent years. While Hallsville North is a solid choice, its district peer, Hallsville West Elementary, consistently achieves higher proficiency rates in nearly every subject, suggesting there are effective strategies nearby that could be studied. Additionally, the nearby Hudson Elementary in Longview ISD is an extraordinary outlier, ranking in the top 0.1% of Texas elementary schools despite serving a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students, demonstrating that high achievement is possible regardless of economic factors.

For parents, Hallsville North Elementary offers a strong, efficient education with a clear commitment to improving outcomes for all learners, particularly those in Special Education. The school's main challenges involve ensuring consistent, high-level performance across all student groups and closing the achievement gap with its higher-performing district counterpart.
