Summary:
The city of Hayfield, Minnesota is home to two public schools: Hayfield Secondary and Hayfield Elementary, both part of the Hayfield Public School District. While Hayfield Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic assessments, Hayfield Secondary has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking in recent years.
Hayfield Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with students significantly outpacing their peers in Math, Reading, and Science proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 52.71% of Hayfield Elementary students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the district's 34.8% and the state's 45.47%. In Reading, Hayfield Elementary had a 47.29% proficiency rate, higher than the district's 43.37% and the state's 49.85%. The school's 5th-grade Reading proficiency rate was an impressive 79.41%.
In contrast, Hayfield Secondary has experienced a decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 228 out of 476 Minnesota high schools in 2022-2023 to 250 out of 480 in 2023-2024, with a decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2. This suggests potential areas for improvement at the high school level, which may be related to changes in student demographics, instructional quality, or resource allocation within the district.
