[quote=Anonymous]I know that there are some very different groups at Hayfield and that affects the test scores that people use as a short hand for a "good school" and a "bad school." I am o.k. with my kids going to a school where there are both academically-inclined and not-so-inclined kids -- a "less than top notch" test score rating doesn't phase me. I do want my kids to feel safe and to be in an environment where they are challenged to learn and move to the next level by teachers and peers. I would prefer some level of personal control/comportment (but perhaps this doesn't exist for teens anywhere). For instance, I would prefer an environment where kids are actually afraid of getting caught sassing the teacher or PDA-ing in class (not sure if this is the norm today). Can you tell me about the academic dynamics (what are the peers like, how much do the teachers teach/inspire vs. discipline)? Tell me about the social dynamics. Is there a dominant group/culture?
