Hyder Elementary District (4502)

Situated along Ave 64E and Interstate 8 in Dateland, Arizona, the Hyder Elementary District is an active, traditional public school district serving a rural remote community within the Yuma metropolitan region. Operating a single academic facility, this non-charter district provides focused educational programs for young learners across kindergarten through eighth grade. The district supports a tight-knit student body of 88 children—comprising 40 female and 48 male students—with grade levels ranging from small kindergarten cohorts to larger fourth- and eighth-grade classes. Reflecting the heritage of the surrounding area, the student population is predominantly Hispanic (73 students), alongside White, multiracial, Black, and Pacific Islander learners, creating a culturally rich and cohesive environment.

To foster strong academic and developmental outcomes, the district maintains an extraordinarily robust staffing infrastructure relative to its enrollment size. The educational team features 18 full-time equivalent teachers, backed by 8 instructional aides and 24 administrative and operational support staff members, bringing the district's total workforce to 50 full-time equivalent professionals. This generous staffing model ensures that students benefit from an exceptional degree of individual attention, tailored instruction, and comprehensive institutional support throughout their foundational school years.
