Science Hall was not part of Hays CISD’s January 2026 rezoning, so its 2026-27 zone is the same one that took effect in 2025-26, when it gained two planning units from Uhland Elementary.

Science Hall opened in 2006 with Dr. Angela Nelson as its first principal. It is named for Science Hall, a farming community east of present-day I-35 that grew up around Science Hall Academy, founded in 1876 on the Andrews family’s land; the community faded after the railroad bypassed it in 1881, and the academy closed in the 1920s. In 2025-26 the school enrolled 666 students, with 75.4% economically disadvantaged, 38.6% English learners, 20.4% receiving special education services and 4% identified as gifted and talented. Alejandra Valdez is the principal. Hays CISD has closed the campus’s two-way dual language academy to new students, so in 2026-27 the remaining academy students are 5th graders finishing the program. GreatSchools and TEA measure different things. GreatSchools weighs test results against schools with similar student populations, while TEA’s rating, below, is the state’s official accountability measure.
Academic Performance: Texas Education Agency Accountability Rating
In TEA’s 2025-26 accountability ratings, released in August 2026, Science Hall Elementary earned an overall C with a score of 73. That is up 4 points from a D (69) in 2024-25. The campus has moved between C and D since a B (81) in 2021-22: it scored a D (69) in 2022-23, a C (75) in 2023-24 and a D (69) in 2024-25.
- Overall TEA Rating (2025-26): C (73)
- Student Achievement: D, 67 out of 100 (based on STAAR performance)
- School Progress: C, 73 out of 100 (Academic Growth C/73, Relative Performance C/70)
- Closing the Gaps: C, 73 out of 100
- Prior Overall Ratings: B (81) in 2021-22, D (69) in 2022-23, C (75) in 2023-24, D (69) in 2024-25
- Hays CISD (2025-26): B (81) district-wide
Under TEA’s scale, an A reflects exemplary performance, B is recognized, C is acceptable, D needs improvement, and F is unacceptable. Science Hall’s overall rating comes from School Progress, which was a C (73) in 2025-26, with Academic Growth at 73 and Relative Performance, which compares results with schools serving similar shares of economically disadvantaged students, at 70. Relative Performance was the biggest improvement, up from an F (59) in 2024-25. Student Achievement, the share of students meeting STAAR standards, rose from 64 to 67 but remains a D, and Closing the Gaps, which measures results for student groups, improved from a D (69) to a C (73). The campus has not earned any distinction designations in the years shown. TEA identified Science Hall for targeted support and improvement in 2024-25, and for 2025-26 it is identified for additional targeted support. Both labels relate to the performance of specific student groups, not the overall grade.

Programs at Science Hall Elementary
These are the programs Hays CISD and the Science Hall campus list for this school. The campus site publishes little about clubs or after-school care, so ask the school directly if a specific program matters to you.
- Pre-K: Free, full-day Pre-K for 4-year-olds (age 4 by Sept. 1, 2026) who live in Hays CISD and meet state eligibility guidelines. Science Hall Elementary is on the district’s 2026-27 list of state-funded Pre-K campuses; the district’s tuition-based Community Pre-K is not offered at this campus.
- Bilingual and dual language: Science Hall is a Hays CISD bilingual campus (marked BIL on the district’s Pre-K list) offering the district’s one-way dual language program, which starts in Pre-K through 2nd grade and grows to Pre-K through 5th. The former two-way dual language academy is closed to new enrollment.
- Spanish enrichment: In 2025-26 Hays CISD listed Science Hall as one of four elementary schools offering a Spanish enrichment class to all students as part of the specials rotation.
- Gifted and Talented: Identified G/T students at Science Hall are served through Hays CISD’s elementary model, which provides services through differentiation in a cluster classroom.
- PTA and volunteers: The campus has a PTA and welcomes parent volunteers through the district’s VIPS program.
The two-way dual language academy at Science Hall is closed to new students, so families interested in dual language should ask about the one-way program, which is the option still open to new enrollees. For current details on Pre-K, bilingual services or gifted and talented services, contact Science Hall Elementary at (512) 268-8502.

Homes Zoned to Science Hall Elementary: Market Stats
The figures below cover single-family homes sold through Unlock MLS whose addresses fall inside Science Hall Elementary’s 2026-27 attendance zone, based on Hays CISD’s official 2026-27 attendance zone map (which includes the January 2026 rezoning), not the school typed into each listing. Most sales were in Talavera, Kensington Trails and Sunset Hills. The housing stock is relatively new: the median home sold was built in 2018, and about 40.5% of sales were homes built in 2022 or later.
3-Year Closed Sales Trend
| Period | Homes Sold | Median Sale Price | Median $/Sq Ft | Sale-to-List Ratio | Median Days on Market |

| Sept 2023 – Aug 2024 | 36 | $304,240 | $168.59 | 98.3% | 22 days |

Data sourced from Unlock MLS. Statistics deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Single-family homes only. Each Hays CISD listing was geocoded and matched to Hays CISD’s official 2026-27 Science Hall Elementary attendance zone, so the figures reflect today’s zone (including the January 2026 rezoning) rather than the school typed into each listing.
The median sale price in the Science Hall zone fell from $348,800 in 2022-23 to $290,000 over the trailing twelve months, a change of about -16.9%. Median price per square foot declined less, from $165.29 to $156.86 (-5.1%), which suggests part of the drop in the median reflects smaller homes selling, not only lower prices.
Sales volume more than doubled, from 28 homes in 2022-23 to 66 in the past twelve months, as newer sections came onto the market. Homes are taking longer to sell: median days on market rose from 31.5 days to 68 days, and the median sale-to-list ratio slipped from 100.0% to 97.4%.
