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.

The best part of Hayden High School are the sports. Hayden has the most competitive players and they always want to win. The worst part about Hayden is the food, its awful and needs some work done to it.

Honestly Hayden High School is not the worst school I have been to, but it is also not the best. Many teachers have their favorites ad make it very obvious. But there are also some amazing teachers that you can tell would go above and beyond for their students and some that are just trying their best to help you. I honestly do not think they prepared me enough for college and have not helped me with anything towards applications and scholarships I have had to figure it out on my own.

Hayden High School is not the weak ,it is a small school in the sticks .At Hayden High School the teachers never taught or took anything seriously,and when you ask the councilor for help on colleges she doesn't care enough to lead you in the right way .

I came out with straight A's each and every semester in the honors program.I was woefully unprepared for college courses. There was a sizable gap in knowledge...

I attended Hayden High School from 7th grade up until the middle of 11th grade. I left to pursue a home-school education. During the years I attended this school, I encountered many disturbing things that children of that age group should not be exposed to. The teacher's idea of teaching was making...

This school does not have many elective choices for the kids. Some of the older teachers need to be let go with there can careless attitude. Kids don't have much homework assigned. Foreign language classes are a computer lab with a teacher(babysitter), no verbal communication. This school does not o...
