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.

The best part of Hayward High School is being apart of sports teams. The worst part of Hayward High School is the safety and the food options. I would like to see off campus lunch and P.E. classes dedicated to the sport you play.

Overall, my time at Hayward High has never been boring. My teachers have been consistently good, however there are a few whose teaching style is not the best. Safety is also a bit of an issue due to some recent incidents, one of which was actually on the news. Hayward High does have many clubs and very long traditions, like our Downtown Rally where the whole school marches through downtown Hayward. So overall, never boring.

The homework they have her for algebra and English during a time like this is insane. Now so many stressed out kids need summer school.

Terrible leadership starting at the top with Vice Principal Andrea Hayes. I live in the community and watched how she interacted with students and how she behaved in front of them. I am deeply concerned about the kind of atmosphere she creates.
