Summary:
The Hayden-Winkelman Unified District in Arizona is home to a single high school, Hayden High School, which serves a predominantly Hispanic student population of 93 students. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $24,594, it has consistently struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona high schools over the past three years and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hayden High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Science and English Language Arts, and 12% in Mathematics, all well below the state averages. This poor academic performance is reflected in the school's low statewide ranking of 397th out of 469 Arizona high schools. However, the school has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 95.4% and a 0% dropout rate, which are positive indicators.
The data suggests that Hayden High School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, coupled with the school's diverse student population and consistently low academic performance, highlights the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the root causes of its underperformance and provide a high-quality education to its students.
