High Schools in Hayfield Public School District

Summary:

The Hayfield Public School District in Minnesota has only one high school, Hayfield Secondary, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its ranking dropping from 228 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 308 out of 450 in 2024-2025, and it now holds a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Hayfield Secondary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III tests significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, the school's 11th-grade math proficiency rate was 15.91% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 34.96%. The school's reading proficiency rates are also lower than the state averages, with the 10th-grade reading proficiency rate at 44.19% compared to the state average of 51.26%.

Socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's challenges, as it has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 34.84% and a student-teacher ratio of 16:1 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's declining performance and lower-than-average test scores suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the state averages.
