Summary:
In zip code 76086, there is one middle school, Hall Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 with 934 students in the Weatherford Independent School District (Isd), an area with moderate economic diversity as indicated by 44% of students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Hall Middle presents a mixed academic profile with notable strengths and weaknesses. The school excels in advanced mathematics, with 88.37% of students proficient in Algebra I, dramatically outperforming both the district and state averages. It also performs above the state average in 8th grade Social Studies. However, the school faces significant challenges, particularly a "7th Grade Math Cliff" where proficiency plummets to just 13.61%, far below the state average of 29.41%. Reading proficiency is a consistent weakness across all three grade levels, with scores below state averages. The school's state ranking has declined over three years from the 63rd to the 49th percentile, now earning a 2-star rating, while the district remains stable at the 53rd percentile.
Key metrics show a student-teacher ratio of 15.9, spending of $8,540 per student, and a low dropout rate of 0.4%. The stark contrast between exceptional Algebra I performance and struggling 7th grade math suggests the school effectively accelerates top students while a large portion of the general population falls behind. The declining ranking, despite stable district performance, indicates Hall Middle is losing ground relative to other schools in the area. For parents, this school offers strong advanced programs but requires attention to systemic reading issues and the specific 7th grade math cohort.
