Summary

Hayden Meadows Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Hayden Lake, ID, serving 502 students in the Coeur D'Alene District — a district ranked 13th out of 101 Idaho districts. In the 2025–2026 school year, Hayden Meadows ranked 7th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 98th percentile with a 5-star rating. This is no one-year fluke: the school has ranked among the top 20 Idaho elementary schools for six consecutive years, climbing from 40th in 2017–2018 to 7th today.

Hayden Meadows' academic proficiency is far above district and state averages. In 2025–2026, 76.3% of students were proficient in math (district: 52.0%; state: 43.1%), and 80.3% were proficient in English language arts (district: 65.9%; state: 54.0%). Fifth-grade science proficiency was 66.3% versus a 44.0% state average. The school's closest academic competitor, Dalton Elementary School, ranks 11th in Idaho, while most other nearby schools rank much lower — including Winton Elementary School (26th), Atlas Elementary School (74th), and Skyway Elementary School (84th). Nearly all grade levels exceed 70% proficiency in math and ELA, with 3rd grade especially strong at 83.5% math and 85.3% ELA.

Hayden Meadows also stands out for attendance and efficiency. Chronic absenteeism was just 0.9% in 2025–2026, far below the 13.8% state rate, and has consistently run well below district averages. The school spends less per student ($7,244) than most nearby schools and has a larger average class size (19.6:1), yet produces the region's strongest results. Notably, Garwood Elementary School has a nearly identical free/reduced-lunch rate (23.4%) but far lower proficiency (39.5% math, 46.7% ELA), suggesting school effectiveness matters beyond demographics. The contrast is even starker with Northwest Expedition Academy, just half a mile away, which ranks 303rd statewide.
