Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with 59.62% of Hayden Elementary School's students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $10,935 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.7 suggest that the district is allocating resources to the school, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes. Overall, the analysis highlights the need for the school and district to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's declining performance and implement targeted strategies to support student success.
