7 public K-12 schools in Hallsville from NCES Common Core of Data: enrollment, grade span, demographics, and Civil Rights Data Collection statistics for every active campus.
According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Hallsville has more public-school enrollment than 94% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Hallsville sits near the top of the national city distribution by public-school enrollment, while Texas Virtual Academy at Hallsville alone enrolls 80.2% of local students. The city total therefore does not describe a uniform market: one large campus materially shapes the aggregate, and the remaining schools operate at a different scale. Read the ranked table alongside each campus profile rather than treating the city mean as a typical school.
Combined-grade campuses shape the local portfolio
4 of Hallsville's 7 listed schools use NCES's combined or “other” grade-level classification. Citywide averages therefore blend campuses serving unusually broad or nonstandard grade spans with conventional elementary, middle, and high schools. Grade configuration is a first-order comparison here, not a minor label.
A small portfolio contains radically different campus scales
Hallsville lists only 7 schools, yet reported enrollment runs from 592 to 19,731 students, a 33-fold range. In a portfolio this compact, the smallest record may be a specialized or nonstandard setting rather than a miniature version of the largest campus. That distinction affects how ratios and program fields should be read. Compare similarly configured grade levels first; combining the extremes into one city average conceals more than it explains.

Texas Virtual Academy at Hallsville accounts for 80.2% of all Hallsville public-school enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Hallsville a distant remainder — means Hallsville-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: Combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Hallsville school enrollment varies 33× across entities
Hallsville school enrollment ranges from 592 students (lowest) to 19,731 students (highest), a spread of 19,139 students. That ratio is among the widest observed and reflects extreme heterogeneity inside a single city, with small specialty programs listed alongside large comprehensive campuses. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.
Hallsville operates one school district — a single-district system
Hallsville's listed schools share one district boundary, budget authority, and reporting chain. That makes citywide and districtwide governance easier to compare, but it does not make individual campuses uniform: grade configuration, staffing, programs, and student need can still vary materially within the same school district.
Hallsville student-teacher ratio is 14.0:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure
student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Hallsville is typically wider than the Hallsville-aggregate figure suggests.
Most racially and ethnically mixed schools in Hallsville
Ranked by the Simpson student-body diversity index (0-100) from NCES race and ethnicity data, where higher means a more evenly mixed student body. It measures mix, not quality.
