Hailey Elementary School

Summary:

Hailey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Hailey, Idaho, with a student population of 295 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces several challenges, including a diverse student population, high chronic absenteeism, and relatively low academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

Hailey Elementary has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (45.08%) and a lower percentage of White students (49.83%) compared to nearby schools. The school also has a higher rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10.9% in 2020-2021 to 24.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average. Academically, Hailey Elementary's test scores, as measured by the ISAT assessments, are generally lower than the Blaine County District and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade math proficiency rate was 26.3%, compared to 40% for the district and 47.6% for the state.

Interestingly, while Hailey Elementary's overall performance is relatively low, the school's ranking for female and male students in 2017-2018 was in the middle of the state, suggesting that the school may be able to better support certain student subgroups. However, the nearby Ernest Hemingway STEAM School and Syringa Mountain Charter School generally outperform Hailey Elementary in terms of test scores and statewide rankings, despite being part of the same Blaine County District or a different district, Syringa Mountain School Inc. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level policies may be contributing to the performance differences.

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.
