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.

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.

I have concerns about the new principal's leadership style. Communication with parents and students has been lacking. Discipline is nonexistent and children are learning to get away with bullying other kids and things are getting out of hand, and there seems to be a disconnect between the administration and the needs of the school community. I hope these issues can be addressed to improve the overall environment
