Summary

Dr. Jessie Hayden Elementary serves 514 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Midway City, within the Westminster district. In 2025–2026, students performed above California’s averages in English language arts (ELA), math and science, but results varied by subject and grade. The main concern is math: although the school’s overall rate topped the state’s, it fell below the district’s and dropped sharply in grades 4 and 5.

ELA is a relative strength against the state and district: 56% of students met the standard, about 7 points above California and 2 points above the Westminster district. Still, Hayden was about 2 points below the nearby-school average, and its fourth-grade ELA rate was 4 points below the district’s. Math proficiency was 41%—3 points above the state, but 2 below the district and 11 below the nearby-school average. The shortfall is clearest in grades 4 and 5: fifth-grade math was 31%, 6 points below the state and 7 below the district. Science was the strongest subject relative to the district and peer average: its 40% rate was 4 points above the state and 3 above the district, and close to the nearby-school average. Hayden’s chronic absenteeism was also low at 6%, below the district’s 10%; only two of the 10 nearby schools had lower rates.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math fell 8 points and ELA fell 3, while science rose 2; all three remain above state rates. SchoolDigger ranks Hayden at the 65th statewide percentile, with 3 stars, compared with the district’s 67th percentile; Hayden’s percentile was 74 in 2021–2022. SchoolDigger’s student-group rankings show lower relative statewide standing for Asian students (28th percentile) and Hispanic students (35th) than for the school overall (65th). The 2024–2025 share of students eligible for free/reduced lunch was 80%, close to the nearby-school average of 78%; the student-teacher ratio was 22.3, also close to the peer average of 22.6. Some nearby schools serve through grade 6, so their all-grades averages are not perfectly like-for-like.

Teachers needs to encourage students more and not just get frustrated easily. The office staff is tremendously rude. The principal is too fake. Close Quote
