Summary:
The Hayward Community School District in Wisconsin is home to two elementary schools: Hayward Primary (grades PK-2) and Hayward Intermediate (grades 3-5). While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals that Hayward Intermediate is the standout performer in the district.
Hayward Intermediate consistently outperforms the district and state averages on state standardized tests, with 63.73% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 63.3% for the district and 52.14% statewide. The school also maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks in the top 30% of Wisconsin elementary schools, while the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom half of the state. This suggests Hayward Intermediate is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.
Despite the strong performance of Hayward Intermediate, the Hayward Community School District faces some challenges. Both schools have high rates of chronic absenteeism, at 17.7%, and a significant proportion of students from low-income families, with 55.09% of Hayward Primary students and 59.25% of Hayward Intermediate students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district may need to explore strategies to address these issues and ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.
