Carl Hayden High School

Summary:

Carl Hayden High School is a public high school in Phoenix, Arizona, serving 2,217 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Phoenix Union High School District, which is ranked 249 out of 288 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Carl Hayden High School consistently performs below the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 12% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 7% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate has been low, ranging from 69.3% to 73.2%, significantly below the state average. Additionally, the school has a high dropout rate, ranging from 2.9% to 5.8%, compared to the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Phoenix Union High School District, such as Franklin Police and Fire High School and Metro Technical High School, generally perform better academically than Carl Hayden High School. However, these schools also serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the challenges faced by Carl Hayden High School may be systemic within the district. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to the lower academic performance and higher dropout rates.

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.
