Hayward Intermediate

Summary:

Hayward Intermediate is an elementary school located in Hayward, Wisconsin, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 353 students. The school is part of the Hayward Community School District, which is ranked 253 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hayward Intermediate consistently outperforms the state and district averages in the Forward Exam, with higher percentages of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with over 60% of students scoring proficient or better, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Hayward Intermediate also excels in supporting its Native American student population, ranking 1st out of 13 Wisconsin elementary schools for this subgroup across the past three school years. However, the school's performance for its Male and Multi-racial student subgroups is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom half of Wisconsin elementary schools.

Despite Hayward Intermediate's academic excellence, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 8.0% in 2018-2019 to 21.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. This trend is also observed at the neighboring Hayward Primary School, which had a 16.7% chronic absenteeism rate in 2022-2023. The district should investigate the root causes of this issue and implement targeted interventions to improve student attendance. Overall, Hayward Intermediate is a high-performing school, but the rising chronic absenteeism rates and the need to address the performance gap for certain student subgroups present opportunities for further improvement.

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.
