I would not recommend that any child attend this school. This school is unsafe and dangerous for children, as there is no punishment for bullying. We are new to this area, and my 7th grader was assaulted in the bathroom during PE by a student much larger than him. My son reported it to the counselors and principal and they did nothing. He was afraid to return to school because they would not suspend or expel the student who attacked him. In the end, we had to homeschool our child for the rest of the school year. When we mentioned not bringing our child back to school, the principal (Seana Condit) was only concerned about him missing state testing. She had zero concern for the safety of children at this school. The student who assaulted my son is still on campus.

I did not go to this school, but my little sister does. This year they have had at-home schooling because of COVID19. The things I have heard from my sisters teacher are truly appalling. I had a Teachers-conference with Ms.Azania (the teacher) explaining to her that my sister appears to be at first grade level, and she is in fourth grade. Her response was, she won't hold any children back, because "she doesn't want them to feel depressed." Don't you think, when these students are seniors and they have to take a freshman math class, they won't feel depressed? On another instance, I have heard this teacher bringing politics into the classroom various times. To nine and ten year olds. What place does a nine year old have saying, "The insurrection of the capital was a terrorist attack!" and having the teacher say, "Wow! Thats great!" Since when do we teach politics to children? And teach them that there are more than two genders? Or teach and explain to them what suicide is? Instead of focusing on basic skills like English, Math, Reading, the teachers would rather bring politics into the school and teach the children about race, and inequality. How will you ever expect these kids to succeed if a ten year old is being taught, "orange man bad" instead of "8x7"? I even called the principal and he was not much help. Told me, I could not meet with the teacher, only the parents could call a meeting. I will not be sending any of my children to this school and I suggest you do the same.

Both my children have excelled at Hayward High. My daughter is now entering her sophomore year at UC Berkeley and my son is definitely UC bound. Their AP program is excellent and prepped my daughter well for the academic curriculum at Berkeley. Just stay in your kid's "business", make sure they take challenging courses, stay respectful of their teachers and participate in sports or other clubs and your children will do well.

This schoolIs closed for the last couple years.
