Compared to the nearby Moffat County High School, Hayden High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.48% vs. 65.89%) but lower test scores across various assessments, including CMAS Science, SAT Reading and Writing, and PSAT9/10 Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. Hayden High School also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.6 to 14.3, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 21.43% to 30.84%.

Hayden High School's statewide ranking has been declining over the past several years, from a high of 109 out of 292 Colorado high schools in the 2014-2015 school year to a low of 234 out of 349 in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also faces potential gender-based and racial performance gaps, with female students ranking higher than male students and white students' rankings declining over time. These challenges suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and support the academic achievement of all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
