Hayfield's been a pretty good school for me. There's lots of things to do, and the school's sports teams and journalism departments are top notch. Students' disciplines have greatly improved from a few years back, and there are lots of AP classes and good teachers to help us. This school might not be

This school has been a huge dissapointment. Although the academic programs and extracurricular activities are good to a degree, the faculty and staff need to step it up a notch. On many ocassions throughout the year, no return phone calls or e-mails from staff or teachers. One of my children was out

Another child had a scheduled meeting with teachers a week in advance and his counselor could not be bothered to send for him hence,an unproductive and wasted opportunity for my child. Additionally, e-mails to the upper management went totally without any response. Read less

We offer a lot of challenging classes (I think we have like 15 AP classes), and a lot of extracurricular activities. And since South County opened, our population has decreased to the point where we are one

I have had so many great teachers here, and I really do mean great. Sometimes I think that these parents expect the teachers to basically do their job for them. Trust me, it's not the teachers its the students. You will watch a teacher total morph when she is teaching a regular class, compared to a Honors/AP class. Read less

Judging from previous knowledge of Hayfield, the school has greatly improved, and the economic disparity is not as wide as was expected. Teachers pay more attention to individual students. With the exception of the school's AP course offerings, courses are not the most challenging, but subpar. There
