Summary:

Hayden Canyon Charter School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Hayden, Idaho, with a student population of 468. The school is part of the Lakeland District, which is ranked 48 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hayden Canyon Charter School faces several challenges. Its academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally below the state average and the nearby public schools, such as Twin Lakes Elementary, Dalton Elementary, and Skyway Elementary. The school's proficiency rates in Math, particularly in 7th and 8th grade, are significantly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance for female and male students is below the state average, with female students ranking 54 out of 69 Idaho elementary schools and male students ranking 48 out of 69.

While Hayden Canyon Charter School has seen a significant decline in chronic absenteeism over the past three years, its current rate of 3.4% is still higher than the state average and the nearby public schools. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 17.4 in 2020-2021 to 21.3 in 2021-2022, which is higher than the nearby public schools. Furthermore, the school has a much higher percentage of white students (92.74%) compared to the nearby public schools, which have more diverse student populations. These factors suggest that the school may not be serving the most disadvantaged student populations effectively.

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.
