Hayden High School is small enough to give kids very individualized attention - from those wishing an intense college track to those looking for vocational trades. Incredible vocational program where all kids learn welding; woodworking and auto repair... items that will enhance (and supplement) a future college degree. As with many schools, it provides accordingly to what a student puts in as far as effort (and parental involvement).

Teachers are great, some administrators need improvement. Music opportunities are good, art is available, trade courses are outstanding. Students are not well prepared for college. Basic English like core words, sentence structure, and punctuation aren't taught. Community is great, and parent involvement in activities is good. On-line educational opportunities are good.

I have found this school to be less than adequete. The students are not challenged, and classes are taught to the lowest common denominator. My child rarely has homework (once a week or less) and even with sports is hardly taxed to achieve a 4.0. The administration does not support the staff and makes doubtful choices about who they hire. The sports programs are very basic, offering only football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, and cheerleading. The only other clubs are FBLA, EPYCS and CAN. Our music program has maybe 5 students.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Colorado used the Transitional Colorado Assessment Program (TCAP) to test students' skills in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 10, and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10. The TSAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Colorado. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test. The TCAP replaced the CSAP as Colorado's state assessment program effective for the 2011-2012 school year.
