Hayward Community School District

The Hayward Community School District in Wisconsin operates 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 41.94% to 56.37%.

Among the standout schools in the district, Hayward Intermediate Elementary School ranks 296 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently demonstrates strong academic performance, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3-5. In contrast, Hayward Center for Individualized Learning, an alternative public charter virtual school, has a 100% four-year graduation rate despite serving a higher percentage of students from low-income families.

The data reveals significant variations in academic performance and other metrics across the different schools in the district. While Hayward Middle School showed stronger performance with proficiency rates above 50% in both ELA and Math, Hayward High School had mixed results, with 10th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 35% in Social Studies to 48.31% in Math. These disparities suggest that the district may need to address equity and resource allocation to ensure more consistent outcomes for all students.
