Summary:
The city of Hayden, Indiana has only one school, Hayden Elementary School, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Jennings County School Corporation district. While the district is ranked 170 out of 380 in Indiana and has a 3-star rating, Hayden Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the region based on the available data.
Hayden Elementary has an enrollment of 263 students and faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% and lower-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts at 37.58%, compared to the district average of 35.98%. However, the school does perform better than the district average in math (44.85% vs. 39.76%) and science (39.24% vs. 42.21%). Additionally, the school's social studies proficiency rate for 5th graders is 36.73%, which is higher than the district's 22.67% but lower than the state average of 38.5%.
With a high free/reduced lunch rate of 59.32%, Hayden Elementary may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student performance. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,612 and low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 suggest that it has adequate funding and resources, but this does not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes. Overall, Hayden Elementary School seems to be a relatively average-performing school within its district, with some areas of concern, such as declining English Language Arts proficiency and high chronic absenteeism.
