Hayes Elementary

Summary:

Hayes Elementary is a public elementary school in Fridley, Minnesota, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in academic performance compared to state and district averages, but also shows some bright spots in its performance for specific student subgroups.

Hayes Elementary has a higher percentage of African American (36.71%) and Hispanic (16.24%) students compared to nearby schools like Stevenson Elementary. However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, is lower than the state averages in both Math (40.83% proficient or better) and Reading (37.5% proficient or better). This may be partly due to the high percentage of students (58.66% to 75.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, Hayes Elementary's African American students have consistently performed better than the state average for this subgroup, ranking in the top 100-150 schools in Minnesota. In contrast, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is significantly lower, ranking in the bottom 250-550 schools in the state. Compared to nearby schools, Elementary Lighthouse in the Spring Lake Park Public Schools district has consistently outperformed Hayes Elementary, while schools like North Park School for Innovation in the Columbia Heights Public School District have significantly lower academic performance.

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.
