Summary:
The Hayden School District No. Re 1 in Colorado operates three schools: Hayden Valley Elementary School, Hayden High School, and Hayden Middle School. The data shows that these schools are collectively underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
Academically, the schools in the Hayden School District struggle, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts and Math at Hayden Valley Elementary School were around 30% and 20% respectively, compared to the state averages of around 45% and 36%. The proficiency rates on SAT and PSAT exams at Hayden High School are also significantly lower than the state's.
Beyond academics, the schools in the Hayden School District No. Re 1 face challenges with attendance and graduation. All three schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 27.7%, which are much higher than the state average. Additionally, Hayden High School has a 84.2% four-year graduation rate, lower than the state average. These factors, combined with the high free/reduced lunch rates across the district, suggest that the schools are serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the academic and attendance challenges.
