GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have met many of my closest friends at Hayfield and have had teachers who truly cared about me and inspired me. There were teachers there that I knew I could always rely on and go to when I needed help. majority of the students are nice as long as you mind your manners. Admin is quite unorganized most of the time and implement rules that no one really seems to follow most of the time which sometimes leads to tension between the students and admin but it dies down pretty quickly. The arts program is under appreciated and under funded but as someone who was in the orchestra I still enjoyed my experience and loved the Hayfield music community.

My experience in this school was up and down. Some teachers are willing will help and full of resources. There's no worst part about my experience other than online school. Overall, I like my experience with the school. What k like to see change is the staff and faculty not coming after students and being less strict.
