Hallsville East Elementary

Q: Is Hallsville East Elementary a good school?

Hallsville East Elementary ranks 2262 nd of 4675 Texas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hallsville East Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Hallsville Independent School District (ISD) in Hallsville, Texas, with a student population of 604 that is predominantly White (74.5%).

Academically, Hallsville East Elementary's performance, as measured by STAAR test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly for Hispanic and African American students who rank in the bottom 25% and bottom 50% of Texas elementary schools, respectively, in reading and math proficiency. However, the school's Gifted and Talented students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 12% of Texas elementary schools. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (around 50% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Interestingly, other Hallsville ISD schools, such as Hallsville West Elementary and Hallsville North Elementary, generally outperform Hallsville East Elementary, while schools in the neighboring Marshall ISD and Longview ISD have significantly lower academic performance.

Despite the overall academic challenges, Hallsville East Elementary's Gifted and Talented program stands out as a strength, with students in this program ranking in the top 12% of Texas elementary schools. This suggests that the school may be effectively identifying and supporting its high-achieving students, even as the overall academic performance lags behind. With targeted interventions and support, Hallsville East Elementary has the potential to improve student outcomes, particularly for its Hispanic and African American students, as well as its economically disadvantaged population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
