I enjoy the smaller class sizes and thoughtfulness of the teachers. They work hard to help their students grow and become better people beyond the classroom.

Many students do participate in drinking and drug use on the weekends. Despite this fact, most of these students do not attend school while they are drunk or high, so it does not interfere with the educational environment. Since I have attended there has never been any reason to feel unsafe. The nurse is not always available, but someone with training will be.

There is atleast one AP course offered in every core class. There are not very many clubs to choose from but the ones that are available are extremely active in what they do.

I am a former student of Mayfield High School. This school is very sports oriented, it may not be intentional, but it is not recognized by the administrative staff at the school. The administration at this school ignores feedback from teachers and students, as they believe that they know best, when...
