Hayden Middle School

Summary:

Hayden Middle School is a small public middle school in Hayden, Colorado, serving 94 students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly White student population and is part of the Hayden School District No. Re 1, which is ranked 91 out of 116 school districts in Colorado.

Compared to the nearby Craig Middle School, Hayden Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Hayden Middle School's academic performance, as measured by CMAS test scores, is significantly lower than the state average and has been declining over the past few years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the state averages, with particularly low performance in Math.

Hayden Middle School's declining academic performance and lower rankings among Colorado middle schools suggest a need for the school to focus on improving its curriculum, instructional strategies, and support for struggling students. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio could be an advantage, the data indicates that the school may need to implement more effective school improvement strategies to better serve its students and community.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
