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.

Hayesville High School is one of the best public schools in North Carolina. Have had nothing but positive experiences here. They are taking education to the next level, offering classes that most other schools in North Carolina do not have. Hayesville High is currently the only school in North Carolina that is offering a two-part Aviation based class, where after taking these two classes the students are able to take the test to get their pilots license.

Academics and sports play a big part of the life on campus at this wonderful place. Students are valued and engaged in meaningful learning. It is a great, hometown environment with a old fashioned feel.

This is a very small school with mostly excellent teachers. The biggest problem with this school is they put athletics above EVERYTHING! Sports are good but they have a tendency to put athletic students above everyone else. It seems to be all about winning.
