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.

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.

This school is pretty average. If you want to do good you will do good, by applying yourself. However violence, bullying, you are guaranteed to see them but not necessarily be apart of it. Overall this school is average nothing special.

Overall, my time at Hayward High School since I first stepped foot on campus in August of 2021, has been pretty good. I've never had any serious issues with a teacher or other faculty member and I've never had any serious issues with another student on campus. I have also enjoyed the classrooms themselves and some of the teachers at this school are great.

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.
