Summary:
The Hayden School District No. Re 1 in Colorado has only one elementary school, Hayden Valley Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 238 students. The school and district have consistently struggled with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to state averages.
Hayden Valley Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools for the past three school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the CMAS assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 25% of 5th graders proficient in Science compared to the state average of 39%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, which is quite high compared to the state average.
The challenges faced by Hayden Valley Elementary School are likely reflective of broader district-wide issues, as the Hayden School District No. Re 1 as a whole is ranked 97 out of 115 districts in Colorado and also has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests it may serve a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism.
