GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a senior, my experience at Carl Hayden high school was great. Although, something that bothered me this year was that our senior sunrise didn't feel special. I waited all three years excited to experience the senior activities and the senior sunrise wasn't fun at all. I hope that the rest of the senior activities are better. But what I do like about Carl Hayden is the variety of cultures. I like how Carl Hayden shows importance to the different cultures there are at our school.

I have been a student at Carl hayden for 4 years now, and in my experience i have always felt welcomed, not only in my culture but also my likings. There is a bit of everything in carl hayden, the staff is great, the teachers are so involved and the clubs really do their big one. Carl hayden in my opinion is a very open and comforting school. I truly will always thank carl hayden for making my 4 years memorable and not insufferable.
