Our students consistently score above national norms on achievement and college placement tests. About 3,500 students are enrolled in a high school, two middle schools, six elementary schools, and an alternative school. An extensive special education program serves children with special needs. The Hays community plays a large role in the success of our students. We are proud to say that our students continue to reap the benefits of a community that generously supports its public schools.
All schools are air-conditioned.
A major expansion program for new classrooms, improved facilities, and curricular enhancements has recently been completed. Each school has a strong parent organization and a site council which provide leadership and support in all student-centered areas. All elementary schools in Hays offer after-school childcare in the school setting for their students. The children have the opportunity to expand their learning day in a warm, caring, well-supervised, fun environment. Students can get help with their homework, play outside when weather permits, and learn life skills like cooking, arts, and crafts.
