In Fall 2022, Hallsville West Elementary will open, however, not at the current building location. Due to construction issues, the campus located on Loop 281 in Longview, TX, will not be completed in time for the 2022-23 academic school year. HISD announced that the current Intermediate 5th Grade campus will become Hallsville West for one academic year. Because of this, 5th grade students will attend Intermediate 4th grade campus. West is scheduled to have grades PK-3.
