This school has caused me so many problems, I still have anxiety and social issues because of the people that go here. It’s terrible. I was a student here and the lack of reinforcements for rules and punishments against discrimination is horrible. They favor certain students over others, specifically a few of the staff in particular. They should rip down that pride flag out in the front, as apart of the LGBTQ community I have been harassed many times by other students and when I shared my story with the support systems they had little to no action taken place. The school is hypocritical and is corrupted. It has caused my middle school years to be the worst two years of my life, no exaggeration. I have other experiences as well, my other relative had been traumatized by a teacher because of her disgusting and cruel behavior towards them and other students. It is truly a terrible school. Not to mention the various fights and drama that takes place, a very unsafe and inappropriate environment for students to be learning in. The only upsides to this school are the few teachers that make the campus a bit bearable.

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
